Microsoft Suspends Developer Accounts of High-Profile Open-Source Projects

Microsoft abruptly suspended developer accounts used by VeraCrypt and WireGuard to sign Windows drivers and publish updates after tightening Partner Center identity verification; both projects report no prior notice and face blocked driver signing that could prevent updates and, for VeraCrypt, may stop encrypted system drives working under Secure Boot. Developers are in an appeals process and Microsoft contacts are working to resolve the issue, highlighting the operational risk when critical open-source security infrastructure depends on a single vendor's automated enforcement.
