quote:
According to the Financial Times, Microsoft said the data center it acquired from Danger 18 months previously had not been "updated to run on Microsoft technology."[1] A company statement said the mishap was due to "a confluence of errors from a server failure that hurt its main and backup databases supporting Sidekick users."[2] T-Mobile blamed Microsoft for the loss of data.[1]
The incident caused a public loss of confidence in the concept of cloud computing, which had been plagued by a series of outages and data losses in 2009.[7] It also was problematic for Microsoft, which at the time was trying to convince corporate clients to use its cloud computing services, such as Azure and My Phone.[1]
On October 14, 2009, a class action lawsuit was launched against Microsoft and T-mobile. The lawsuit alleged:
T-Mobile and Microsoft promised to safeguard the most important data their customers possess and then apparently failed to follow even the most basic data protection principles. What they did is unthinkable in this day and age.[8]
The class action lawsuit was settled in 2011, with affected users compensated with "a $35 T-Mobile gift card, a $17.50 check payment, or up to 12 free downloadable items."[9]
