Their status updates said they saw that a health check was pulling servers offline that were not unhealthy. The mitigated the health check but could not bring systems online without getting DDOS’d by all of the connections.
It worse than you think. A cyber attack would probably be better than the alternative, which is that the systems are more complex than ever, but also lack the expertise to maintain properly, and lack the funding to perform that maintenance. Over time more and more infrastructure will crumble.
Bgp could happen to you.
Probably haven’t been patched in a decade and hit a critical bug.
I walked past a Mr Ramen tonight in little Tokyo. It wasn’t overly busy for a Thursday , but the Daikokuya next door has had a line out the door every night that I’ve seen it open for the past 5+ years. I remember going there maybe 15 years ago and maybe having to wait in a queue of 1 or 2 at worst.
Their ramen is good, but ramen has a limit on how good it can get. The amount of people going there has made it less appealing.
SMTP is about as simple as it can get. There’s no good reason for mail delivery to be affected. It should still be moving emails around even if you can’t access them.
But MS has extended SMTP so hard they have no idea how it works anymore or how to properly troubleshoot it.
Exchange is complex enough that you need a team of people to maintain it.
It’s also exposed to the internet and to end users in such a way that makes it a security target.
Keeping up with it is/was difficult, and the cost to have Microsoft do it is pretty cheap all things considered.
Every once in a while a competitor shows up but really the last competitor was groupwise.
Entra isn’t down I would expect mfa to be up too.
That’s AWS.
You got it backwards, major corporations control the US president.
Sec of state and other top officials are a security risk. I’m ok with flying them to their kids football game every weekend. I don’t like it, and I don’t like it even more when it’s Rubio, but it’s a necessity for the job.
