Microsoft OneDrive down worldwide following claims of DDoS attacks
Microsoft OneDrive down worldwide following claims of DDoS attacks
Microsoft is investigating an ongoing outage that is preventing OneDrive customers from accessing the cloud file hosting service worldwide, just as a threat actor known as 'Anonymous Sudan' claims to be DDoSing the service
I'm feeling rather smug and justified telling my clients to keep files on a local server that they control rather than
"the cloud"someone else's computer.I'm not a big fan of monolithic cloud ecosystems myself. However, to be fair, it's like lambasting someone for being late to work because a deranged trucker blocked the only road they can take to work.
What level of traffic could cause this? Microsoft literally has their own cloud...
When you clone NQ-RARBG and they get the wrong IP address.....
"The impacted browser URL is onedrive.live.com. Access to the OneDrive service using the desktop client, a synchronization client or Office clients are not impacted," Microsoft said.
So, just the website then.
And that's only for the personal OneDrive service. Business accounts are "https://YourOrg-my.sharepoint.com" for OneDrive access.
Damn, this is actually kind of surprising.
