V súvislosti s problémami s používaním a únikom údajov v systéme Windows Phone 7, v ktorom jeho mobilný operačný systém WP7 odosielal najmenej jeden účet až do 50 GB neidentifikovaných údajov za deň a používateľ nepodporil, spoločnosť Microsoft odpovedala vyhlásením.
Vo vyhlásení adresovanom spoločnosti Seattlepi povedal:
We have determined that a third-party solution commonly accessed from Windows Phones is configured in a manner that potentially causes larger than expected data downloads. We are in contact with the third party to assist them in making the necessary fixes, and are also pursuing potential workarounds to address the configuration issue in case those are needed. At this point in our investigation, we believe this is responsible for most of the reported incidents.
We are investigating additional potential root causes for the remainder of the reports.
A small (low single-digit) percentage of Windows Phone customers have reported being affected.
We are continuing to investigate this issue and will update with additional information and guidance as it becomes available.
Berte na vedomie, že pripisovali problém "riešeniu tretích strán", ktoré môže byť aplikáciou tretej strany alebo modulom tretej strany v rámci nejakej aplikácie WP7.
