every day i lose my mind a little more at how much trust hundreds of thousands of companies across the world place in third parties like microsoft to handle literally all of their sensitive data, as if that could be a good idea in any universe
While I don't disagree it's dangerous, most companies handling their own data would likely do a lot worse, just with smaller chance of being targeted.
That's a fair point to be honest but it would mean more job openings for me, so... /j
Especially when history has shown that Microsoft had and has issues with security basically everywhere.
Not just companies. Governments. I know of entire governmental departments that run exclusively off of a M$ environment. People who deal with capital C Confidential information are backing it up into OneDrive. It's lunacy.
