Hi All

Is nothing safe?

Microsoft confirmed today that a nine-hour outage on Tuesday, which took down and disrupted multiple Microsoft 365 and Azure services worldwide, was triggered by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.

Redmond says the outage impacted Microsoft Entra, some Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Purview services (including Intune, Power BI, and Power Platform), as well as Azure App Services, Application Insights, Azure IoT Central, Azure Log Search Alerts, Azure Policy, and the Azure portal.

The company confirmed in a mitigation statement published today that the root cause behind yesterday's outage was a DDoS attack, although it has yet to link it to a specific threat actor.

@All

Time for Hybrid cloud and a BCRS plan - yes its the responsibility of the client - the Shared Responsibility Model states this clearly for the majority of cloud providers.
