A security researcher has control of a subdomain that Microsoft uses to deliver news and updates to the "Live Tiles" in Windows 8 and Windows 10.

Böck registered this subdomain on his Azure account and is currently sinkholing any requests it receives. He also notified Microsoft of the issue but said the company did not reply.

"We won't keep the host registered permanently. There's a decent amount of traffic reaching this host and running up costs," the researcher said.

"Once we cancel the subdomain a bad actor could register it and abuse it for malicious attacks," he warned.
