I wonder what’s making it so hard. Probably scope of the breach.

My guess would be Microsoft's apparent unwillingness to nuke their Internet connection from orbit and suffer extensive downtime while they clean out the compromised accounts. I mean, I get that that would be catastrophically bad for their business, but isn't being thoroughly pwn3d by the Russians also catastrophically bad already?

They're so engrained i feel like it's not. There are far better solutions than Microsoft (just like the same in the network world and Cisco) but most won't even entertain the idea.
