MS deployed a major patch and schema upgrade to Azure AD this week, realized it was FUBAR, and rolled back. Nothing supernatural, just boneheaded. Combine that with upwards of 50% of the on-prem exchange servers being at-risk or having been popped by the Hafnium 0days and you've got a pretty big storm.

Still nowhere near the WannaCry / NotPetya disruptions a couple years ago or Conficker / RAMPART YANKEE back in the day, it's just more normies sensitized to the 2nd and 3rd-order effects and our dependency on cloud services that makes it seem anomalous.
