There really was a bug in an application that just about every team runs on their VMs (simplifying here) that pushes application logs to storage. Even my team had to restart processes to get logs going again. It was a "sev 0" incident - an oopsie that was not easy to fix without many, many teams taking manual steps to restart agents which normally just hum along in the background.
Multiaccounting? Why don't you ask Dang about that? I'm sure all my IPS are from Colombia since 2018 and all my comments about living here are all plot of a major conspiracy (yeah the irony it's not lost on me), you people are not that good at spoting multiaccounting as you believe yourself to be.
While we are in the subject, probably someone should research such thing, I wouldn't be surprised if the results show that correctly spotting multiaccounting it's impossible for most even by techies except maybe for the less sophisticated attempts, like bots that just use text templates or just copy-paste without changing it much.
That's really the best argument you have, "weird response" and "cool story"? Come on.
I do grant that the other user is very sus, "jaimsam" doesn't have any comments and -4 karma, but then again you could suspect its a throwaway account of someone else, anyone at all, maybe even yours? Pretty sure Dang could easily check who it belongs to by checking the IP address and other clues, but it may no be in the best moderation interests to disclose as much.
This is the fitting opportunity to declare that sometimes I suspect I think a bit too highly of the users of this forum than deserved when they make this kind of poor judgment calls, I don't believe its you alone in that regard.
Probably to have something out there so that when they admit it was a foreign actor who deleted them, it won't seem like big news that it is. That's typical for MSFT and how they handle these things.
It is always a "foreign actor". I bet that all bullshit implemented in Windows in the last years (telemetry, spying, dumbed down UI) was also from a "foreign actor". /s

>> The affected products include Microsoft Entra, Sentinel, Defender for Cloud, and Purview, according to the Business Insider report.
Oof. Entra (formerly Azure Active Directory) being impacted is rough. But who needs SSO logs?
There was a time when we looked at the sky and didn't think about asteroids hitting the earth. Ignorance is bliss.
-- btw, when they listed Entra, I thought it was Encarta. I momentarily so excited that still existed.
That animation when it was searching... it was so amazing back then, you could "feel" the knowledge and facts unfolding in one's computer.
Encarta 96
I wonder which intelligence operation this supported...

What are you referring to here?
Living in your mind must be wild...
Have any of Epstein’s customers been prosecuted yet?
Nor anyone prosecuted for the disappearance of the security cam footage of his cell during the alleged suicide due a "technical error".
This entire thread smells of multiaccounting

Weird response, and cool story.

Why did they admit this publicly?
they got called out for hiding the reporting of it in tooling that can't be accessed by most security teams.
and they have some large contracts to which they are legally obligated to disclose it, maybe why they tried to hide it

At least it didn’t lose entire databases like Google.
Don’t worry, they did that too a couple of years ago. They also lost their tenancy separation records.
