Another example of how most of us are unaware of the risks of depending on IT companies.

This family is ruined.

Years ago, Microsoft cancelled my email account after they copied my hard drive without me being aware of them doing that nor of the years-old content of my drive.

10 years of emails gone, subscriptions that could not be renewed, contacts lost, etc.
No appeals possible.

And now this whole family, due to what a kid did.
