Microsoft recently experienced a temporary disruption in its services, affecting a significant number of users globally. The incident has been attributed to a series of large-scale DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, with the hacker group “Anonymous Sudan” reportedly claiming responsibility. Additionally, it has come to light that some sources are speculating about potential Russian involvement in the attacks.
During the disruption, Microsoft services, including Outlook.com and OneDrive, experienced intermittent outages, causing inconvenience to users attempting to access their accounts, emails, and stored files. The DDoS attacks targeted the infrastructure supporting these services, overwhelming them with an immense volume of traffic and rendering them temporarily inaccessible.
The hacker group “Anonymous Sudan” emerged as a potential threat actor in this incident. While the motivations behind their actions remain unclear, they claimed responsibility for the DDoS attacks.
