Absolutely shameful.

Obviously, nobody is immune to a mistake or failure and sometimes they 
have terrible consequences.   But perhaps this is a good reminder that 
if you're running on a non-native platform, you might take a moment to 
check out the providers who support these projects (BlueOnyx, 
Aventurin{e}).   Without naming names, I know there are a couple of 
folks on this list that have left the Azure (or on-prem Hyper-V) 
platforms to host with us who have reported better performance and 
reduced cost (in one case, less than half).    Access to boutique 
support, lower cost, and not vulnerable to what may perhaps wind up 
being the most egregious MS hosting breach in history?   What's not to 
love?!
