  I’m guessing it was actually something internal. If you look at their status page you’ll notice the outage occurred smack in between some sort of maintenance work they seem to be rolling out to most/all of their edge locations. As soon as they resolved the outage they continued with the regional maintenance updates.

    Of course known maintenance windows are the perfect time for the ol’ cyberattackeroo.

    My sources tell me it was a Russian egg sac that hatched early and shorted out some power rails. It’s plausible, it certainly can’t be the house of cards nature of modern systems.

  Paranoid people: State actors! Technical people, engineers, programmers, normal people: shit happens, people built this.

        Yeah that almost never happens. Besides they’re covered by the comprehensive protection of CrowdStrike. And Microsoft.
