So basically they gave a bunch of nonprofits with fewer than 300 employees less than ten weeks notice that their longstanding Microsoft 365 subscriptions would be unexpectedly cancelled by Microsoft. So presumably the first time many of them found out about it would have been when their software suddenly stopped working. By the time they called Microsoft to find out what happened their data was already deleted.

This is what you get for moving everything to the cloud.

    these organizations likely don't have the budget for dedicated IT staff either. so they're even more reliant on stuff like their office and cloud 'just working'.

    for orgs that are eligible, see https://www.techsoup.org/ for an alternate source for free or low-cost software, including microsoft subs.
