Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Addresses Microsoft Mega-Leak; Here’s What Spencer Told Employees

Xbox head Phil Spencer has addressed the Microsoft mega-leak through both a memo to employees and publically on Twitter.

As most of you will know by now - a lot of internal Microsoft/FTC documents were leaked over the weekend and yesterday after internal files were attached to a single publically published document and not correctly hidden afterward.

As expected, Spencer also said that the leak shouldn't have happened in the first place. A similar, somewhat shorter, message has also been posted on Twitter by Spencer.  "We've seen the conversation around old emails and documents", Spencer writes. "It is hard to see our team's work shared in this way because so much has changed and there's so much to be excited about right now, and in the future. We will share the real plans when we are ready."
