Microsoft is pretty big in consumer space as well - Xbox, Skype, Bing ...I think its Silicon Valley vs not in Silicon Valley thing. Microsoft is counted out because of not being physically located in SV. Thats my theory.

To refresh your memory, 40 Indian soldiers were killed in Kashmir. Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility for this attack and is known to be based out of Pakistan. So blaming Pakistan is not misguided at all.

FWIW, the reports are saying these accounts were compromised due to credential stuffing attacks. While, Intuit can do something about credential stuffing by being proactive and hooking into haveibeenpwned etc. but they were not "breach

The western countries have not had a major war in a while, thats true but thats not the reality for everyone else. I'd recommend you take a look at pictures of war ravaged Syria and read about children dying of starvation in Libya. Sur

Very disappointing comments in this thread. We get it that you all hate TSA but come on, these screeners are working without pay and most of them probably have dependents and families to take care of. Not to mention they worked without pay
