Employer: find me a cloud to do stuff

Employee: Microsoft gives us a 50% "discount" vs the competition but they may get hacked easier.. incentive brain mode: if i save 50%, I may get a raise. If MS gets hacked, then "everyone suffers, so it's not like I'll get the blame for this decision"... Azure 100%!!!

I'm not terribly sure if it's really more MS lack of security posture vs. being a big target as they hold a lot of juicy government targets, etc.. so my comment isn't really to beat up on MS because who knows the key flaw that got them inside yet?




> MS lack of security posture

It's definitely their lack of security posture. Their being a big target also doesn't help, but their shithouse attitude and practises is probably their main problem.
