I don't see a future here that doesn't involve significant legislation over network security and include jail time for major offenses. Every time something like this happens, there's always that organizational Cassandra (usually the CISO) that saw it all coming but was ignored. Sooner or later someone will get burned badly enough that the consensus will be that tech cannot regulate itself on security. We've already got this a little bit for the most egregious cases, but it's still about as secure as banks in the 1920s. A less actionable gripe I have is that we have so few players that even if the US government loses trust in Microsoft's cloud...where else will they go? There aren't a lot of players here that could handle that scale. It's like if there were only 3 banks in the world.
