    It seems this isn’t about customer data:

    The exposed data included full backups of two employees’ computers. These backups contained sensitive personal data, including passwords to Microsoft services, secret keys, and more than 30,000 internal Microsoft Teams messages from more than 350 Microsoft employees.

        They probably mean like private ssh keys and developer credentials, not production keys. Microsoft does not give signing keys to developers, code releases have to get signed through the build servers.

        The cloud is just somebody else’s computer. You give up some control and get some convenience. I’m paranoid about their cloud services and cloud services in general.
