'Error' in Microsoft's DDoS defenses amplified Azure outage
'Error' in Microsoft's DDoS defenses amplified Azure outage
o you have problems configuring Microsoft's Defender? You might not be alone: Microsoft admitted that whatever it's using for its defensive implementation exacerbated yesterday's Azure instability. No one has blamed the actual product named "Windows Defender," we must note. According to Microsoft, the initial trigger event for yesterday's outage, which took out great swathes of the web, was a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. Such attacks are hardly unheard of, and an industry has sprung up around warding them off.

Microsoft says early June disruptions to Outlook, cloud platform, were cyberattacks
Microsoft says early June disruptions to Outlook, cloud platform, were cyberattacks
Microsoft says the early June disruptions to its Microsoft’s flagship office suite — including the Outlook email apps — were denial-of-service attacks by a shadowy new hacktivist group. In a blog post published Friday evening after The Associated Press sought clarification on the sporadic but serious outages, Microsoft confirmed that that they were DDoS attacks by a group calling itself Anonymous Sudan, which some security researchers believe is Russia-affiliated. The software giant offered few details on the attack. It did not comment on how many customers were affected.
