As a tech person, I read through the article and the analysis it linked to. This disrupted but didn’t destroy anything. I think this is a normal consequence of the huge amount of technological leverage being used. This company was wise and had a backup strategy outside its main cloud vendor. Some wouldn’t have been so fortunate.
I am always interested in the covert angle but I see nothing significant here having seen the details, which include human error (probably both at Google and at the company) and an unexpected setting in a publicly available 3rd party script.
Oops.
... Or test run for the happening?
