Just me venting:

So I noticed I was getting spammed with crypto Shit on discord. Turns out my friends hotmail got hacked. He didnt have Access to the Account no more and turned to microsoft. Their response was just straight up bullshit because I am so sure that they can try harder but chose not to.

Yes its not unexpected but seeing it Live is a whole another level of disgusting Business practices. Especially the Part where They Tell him that he should buy minecraft again instead of offering a key or something like that. I know That They cant access one Drive really Unless they have a backdoor key but still straight up scummy to Tell him Theres nothing they can do regarding his Account and that his onedrive data is lost.

Edit: I noticed a Lot of people saying its Fake and honestly idk if it is cause he didnt send me the Screenshot with the Mail included and I didnt ask. This is just the sc he sent me and honestly knowing ms and him is all I need personally. I do get some of the doubts tho, yea and I already wondered whether he was writing to a scammer but I didnt question it. Believe what yall will but I dont think its that unbelievable that ms wont bother with „small stuff like that“

I'm in my 40's and have always been a tech nerd. I have no personal information or pictures I don't want to get out saved in the cloud. All of my things are only locally saved and backed up. I also keep multiple emails with different passwords and names. My Microsoft account I do have is verified for changes through a non Microsoft email address.

It would be a pain in the ass to screw with me in any major capacity. Quite frankly, I'm still surprised that the masses just accept cloud saving all their pictures and documents, just trusting Amazon or Google or Apple or Microsoft to not have security issues, especially when they've had so many security issues.

Eh tbh idk if he actually uses onedrive but yea probably. Idk if it is an actual technical security issue either, I assume he was phished but im not sure.

Your points are valid though and good on you ofc

when my MS got hacked i verified with my ID that its me and they said "yup, its you, so we're blocking the account instead of giving it back to you". had to buy minecraft again :(

That kind of corpo language... Lol. People stick with a operating system from an organisation that talks like that... I guess they love it.

Who is the authority you would go to for Linux issues? Like i kinda get your point but it's a little bizarre to compare apples to trains.

[–] Cactopuses@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Red had is the go to on corporate, canonical has support too.

But honestly, and hike I've seen the support argument I've never actually seen someone engage with MS support, on the OS level at least. Generally family ends up helping, or they go to local IT shops, I imagine it would be similar for a Linux distro.

I dont have one... Im not sure I understand even. What authority do we need for Linux?

I mean for corporations, I guess red hat enterprise or suse would be someone to trust for updates and such.

So they protect your data by preventing you from acces to it. Makes sense....Oh wait it makes absolutely no sense at all.

Sucks though. Are you going to buy a new license? Because the game is nice, but I would not want to give assholes like that more money.
