Microsoft locked the account of a popular open-source VPN developer, the second high-profile developer to report being locked out, and is blocking their ability to send software updates to users. The action creates immediate security and availability risks for the VPN's user base and raises reputational and regulatory risk for Microsoft around platform governance. Direct market impact is likely limited, but the incident could prompt developer backlash and increased scrutiny from customers and regulators.
