    What do they mean by using the word “confidential” ? Considering the word in computing means something like “technically strongly protected against unwanted access by third parties” ?

      Confidential generally means data that is internal to a particular organization and is not meant to be publicly shared.

        But when Copilot can share it, it was already exposed?!

          What the article is saying is that people were using Outlook on their company computers, and Outlook exposed the data to Copilot by sending it outside the company.

    At this point, you’d have to be crazy to be a business and use MS software.
