    So, those numbers all account for about 54,000 of the 8.5 million devices. Using fairly generous rounding, that still leaves approximately 8.5 million more devices.

    A million is a lot.

      Way to miss the point. That’s 54,000 that one person knows of across a small handful of organisations in one small country. I’m not even including the dozens more organisations I know were affected but can’t come up with a ballpark figure for.
