Summary

Presumably none of the roughly 30,000 Microsoft employees laid off in the last four years could have prevented this. Microsoft has issued an apology for the global services outage that began on November 12, which disrupted access to Microsoft 365 products for governments, hospitals, schools, and businesses around the world. The corporation says that neither AI nor malicious actors were at fault, but that the outage occurred as a result of an underlying infrastructural issue introduced during a network upgrade.
