Microsoft has quietly confirmed that the recent outages of its Outlook, OneDrive, and SharePoint online services were caused by DDoS attacks carried out by a pro-Kremlin group named Anonymous Sudan (Storm-1359 in Microsoft's internal nomenclature).
That's quite the embarrassing statement from one of the world's top three cloud providers that, apparently, can't protect its own services.
In a blog post published late Friday, Microsoft seems to have been caught off guard by the group's choice of attack methodology.
