  I would argue such big companies could be trusted to some extend with storing stuff securely.
  You don’t hear much of a data breach from Google.

  But other other hand you had the Microsoft e-mail incident…

    I personally don’t trust them because of the Edward Snowden revelations.

      You can trust nothing lol.
      The only thing you could trust is a fully air-gapped system you personally update and patch with a manual attached storage (like USB SSD/HDDs) and never ever let it see the light of the internet.

      The NSA is not a threat to your cybersecurity. If they want information from you they will put you in a van and beat you with a wrench until you give them the password. If the US Govt has decided you are a threat your problems are bigger than if someone can steal your Steam account.

  I don’t think it matters what 2fa the target had here, the attackers had him hook line and sinker. The bigger issue is that the attacker new everything about how the company worked internally, including staff. I would not be surprised if this company was already compromised, either from an external actor or internal.
