I did say significant…not brilliant :) Still, it’s possible that Valdis is correct, something got changed that wasn’t easy to undo. Might be a combination of network/software changes that will require significant overnight downtime.

Given that the Internet is held together with paper clips, bailing twine, and bubblegum, I'd prefer to take theses organizations' initial word for the fact that there is nothing obviously malicious in these outages.
The mainstream press, on the other hand, seems to want it to be a hack or data breach or... something other than a "glitch". :-)

It's important to not form an opinion too early, especially anyone involved with forensic analysis of these systems. This is a classic fault in amateur investigation: an early opinion will lead you into confirmation bias, irrationally accepting data agreeing with your opinions and rejecting that disproving it.
