You should be able to access your old emails to get info. You just can’t send new ones nor receive them.

When I left work there was no connection to Outlook at all and I could not access any of my emails.

I am forced into using new Outlook which is a piece of shite.

Maybe so. But I still fear one day what could happen to our accounts. Maybe I didn’t use the correct terminology. No reason why it can’t happen.

And by “rogue” you mean a specific attack orchestrated by special interests to steal money that will be blamed on “AI” so they could get away with it

Maybe I used the wrong words. Maybe it won’t be rogue AI, but someone instructs it to perform those functions. Seems to be a real possibility.

In reality, this was probably caused by some imported programmer using GPT to write a maintenance program and it wrecking everything.


Basic change management should have identified and corrected/rolled that back though.

So has anyone heard if it’s a cyber attack or inept, low-wage Indian programmer employees who took down mighty Microsoft?

It’s AI all the way down

Ironically - it’s the safety measures put in place that are preventing them from getting back online. Also, the traffic as they try to roll services back are killing them over again. It’s going to be interesting how they get out of this cycle…

So someone will use technology to hack into accounts.

Yeah, already happens.

Money is traceable. It will end up in a noticeable account somewhere.

You would expect there to be some kind of managed startup proceedure to recover from a blackout.

I’ve thought about this way too much recently. The next 10 years are going to be terrifying.
