Microsoft’s ASP.NET Core 2.3, a version of the company’s open source web development framework for .NET and C#, will reach end of life support on April 7, 2027.
Following that date, Microsoft will no longer provide bug fixes, technical support, or security patches for ASP.NET Core 2.3, the company announced on April 7, exactly a year before the cessation date. ASP.NET Core 2.3 packages—the latest patched versions only—are supported currently on .NET Framework, following the support cycle for those .NET Framework versions. After April 7, 2027, this support will end regardless of the .NET Framework version in use, according to Microsoft. Support for ASP.NET Core 2.3 packages including the Entity Framework 2.3 packages will end on the same date.
Microsoft recommends upgrading to a currently supported version of .NET, such as .NET 10 LTS. To help with the upgrade process, Microsoft recommends using GitHub Copilot modernization, which provides AI-powered assistance in planning and executin

Microsoft’s GitHub has suffered what appears to be its biggest ever security breach after confirming that attackers exfiltrated code from around 3,800 of the company’s internal repositories.
News of the incident first emerged on May 19, when GitHub said it was investigating “unauthorized access.” Hours later, the company’s X account confirmed the worst:
“Yesterday we detected and contained a compromise of an employee device involving a poisoned VS [Visual Studio] Code extension. We removed the malicious extension version, isolated the endpoint, and began incident response immediately,” GitHub said.
“Our current assessment is that the activity involved exfiltration of GitHub-internal repositories only. The attacker’s current claims of ~3,800 repositories are directionally consistent with our investigation so far.”
GitHub added: “We continue to analyze logs, validate secret rotation, and monitor for any follow-on activity. We will take additional action as the investigation warrants.” Th
Many years ago, Microsoft created a handy hub for its Office suite: type office.com into your browser, and you’d see a web page where you could launch the various Office apps — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and so on — or access recently used documents in those apps. This hub’s appearance changed a bit over time as the Office suite was rebranded as Office 365 and then Microsoft 365, but it still served as a launch pad for your M365 files and apps.
Now, however, Microsoft has deeply integrated its Copilot generative AI assistant throughout Microsoft 365, and the hub has been transformed. Currently called the M365 Copilot app, the page puts the Copilot Chat interface front and center. You can still get to your M365 files or apps by clicking Search or Apps in the sidebar on the left, but the main purpose of the hub these days is to let you chat with Copilot.
The old Microsoft Office hub has been taken over by Copilot Chat.
