Microsoft says that a cyberattack triggered the hours-long outage impacting Azure customers

The Hindu  

A global Microsoft Azure outage that impacted a range of services for consumers Tuesday — from reports of stalling Outlook emails to trouble ordering on Starbucks' mobile app — was triggered by a distributed denial of service cyberattack, according to the tech giant. The company's update noted that connectively issues for “a subset" of Microsoft services began at around 11:45 a.m. UTC Tuesday and lasted nearly eight hours. Some Starbucks customers, who were also among those impacted, were “briefly unable to access the mobile order and pay feature in the Starbucks app due to a third-party system outage” on Tuesday, company spokesperson Jaci Anderson told The Associated Press — but by early afternoon, that had largely been restored. In April, a federal cybersecurity review board issued a report alleging that a “cascade of errors” by the Redmond, Washington-based tech giant let state-backed Chinese cyber operators break into email accounts of senior U.S. officials.
