How? Human error.

Why? Microsoft is just that kind of company and always has been. Their t’s aren’t crossed and i’s aren’t dotted, and people buy their shit because they’re used to it.

Name one company which does. There aren't. Every corporation is big, cumbersome and full of people who make mistakes and don't follow procedures.

Which is why I don't trust "the cloud" in general. Obviously businesses are meant to make profit, not to protect my data. If one is at odds with the other, they will choose profit.
