That's less than 3 football fields. Let's not make mountains out of
molehills.


3 Texas football fields?
It's almost the population of the US.
Texas public school math?
OK, I understand.

I'm not sure, but I think the pun is in reading the 'M' as 'meter'
('metre').

3 football fields - assuming American football - is 300 yards, i.e.
about 273 meter/metre.

So did this this Dutchie get the American pun or not!? :-)


What's a yard?
Just joking. I'm Brazilian.
I thought he misread the M as "Mil" = a thousand.

250M Customer Service Records is a LOT. Imagine what the
scammers will do with that.
"Hello, this is M$ Support. Mr. John Doe, Date of birth xxx,
social security number xxx, credit card number xxx, address xxx, Win X
serial number xxx, (or whatever leaked) we have detected malware on
your computer. Please open a remote desktop session so we can correct
the problem".
Hope the leak made the headlines non-tech people read.
