Microsoft has long given no fucks about security of their protocols collaborating with the NSA to leave vulnerabilities open for exploitation rather than patching them.

Before NSA was a intelligence gathering network for the DHS, it was responsible for making sure our communications were secure. So when it was supposed to be standardizing communication protocols, it was instead ignoring known vulnerabilities for exploitation and paying off Microsoft not to close them. Of course Russia, China and Iran would also be aware of these vulnerabilities and how to use them to gain access to presumably secure communications.
