Mapp was created in such a way that partners around the world, including China, could learn about the security vulnerabilities found in advance and respond to them faster. However, after giving information to Microsoft participants about June 24, 3 and 7 July, active initiatives began to operate the security vulnerabilities on the same day. This caused the assumption that information could be used for other purposes.
As a result, the company decided to limit the access of Chinese partners to the evidence of the concept code. This code is often used by cyber security experts to protect systems, but can also be used by computer pirates for attacks.
Microsoft stressed that program participants carefully monitor their work and that they could suspend or exclude those who violate the conditions of the agreement, including those involved in aggressive cybers.
