This makes me very sad. You'd think a company with so many employees and SO much of our data could do a better job at the very least telling us what happened in a decent way. I get that data leaks happen. It's unfortunate, but with so many people and so many complex systems, I'm not mad. But it's absolutely unacceptable to send such a poorly worded email.

You are not their primary concern or interest. Market share and margins are. You are 100% replaceable within seconds on their platform.

This is the unfortunate truth. You have to stand up for yourself and own your own data. I like to hope that over the next few years we are reigniting the technologically literate into self-hosting and providing small hosting services for their less technologically literate connections. I think the secret to making this happen is through PKI edcutaional initiatives and simpiliar access to administration automation. I live in NYC, and my wild imagination sees a world were each building has a technically literate "supervisor" that is making a stable profit off hosting the basics for tenants. It's a pipe dream I know, but that's not going to stop me taking what steps I can to make that happen.
