      They are a big company. Their server security is likely much better than your measly home pc. *"So please do all your banking and company research in our cloudcomputer… " *- (/s for measure)

        At this point it’s on purpose by Micro$lop. The SharePoint vulnerability last year was the prime example of that. They fixed the problem on their servers, then told everyone about it, and released a patch.

          @Mac @Flying_Lynx or how much they would like insider knowledge of your spending habits. If ai has taught us anything, it’s that the big tech companies want control of your data at all costs

            At this point in time you can let AI (for now only Google?) do all your online shopping. (sigh)
