This take is bizarre and i’m really beginning to think that a scant few people are pushing it in bad faith in an attempt to spread rumours. It has no connection with reality. Extended downtime and faffing about with distributed systems issues all happen without it being caused by an attack.

I could and probably am was wrong, but it is not bizarre, nor was I starting rumors. Starting rumors involves a little more than that. Rather it is a natural line of speculation given the times we are in, and the fact that, now well documented, AI hacking attacks are a thing.

When was the last time MS had such a large outage?

The timing is suspicious but could indeed be a coincidence.

One, coincidences happen all the time. Two, the world is always undergoing some sort of event that would make you go, "the timing is suspicious". There, distributed systems are hard.

No need for conspiracy here.

Yesterday Outlook. Today FAA ground stop. Tomorrow ... well we'll see.
