"an unprecedented sequence of events"
Yeah? It was, what's your point?
It sounds similar to "a unscheduled pen test" and other corporate speak
These situations are almost always self-inflicted. If someone else hacked Google Cloud this badly then you'd likely have heard it from them first. And they probably would have done something significantly more destructive if their goal was harming Google reputation.
I just found the phasing to be kind of funny
“rapid unscheduled disassembly” 🙄
Boeing is opening the doors to the ~~future~~ plane mid flight
Sounds really dramatic in a news item though. Click bait. :)
But yeah, I recently moved away from these cloud services and have a Nas at home now. Only encrypted backups in cloud. Because fuck Google.
“Unprecedented” is kinda hot right now. Tries to mitigate too much blame being heaped on: “obviously we prepare for the usual and even the unexpected, but this has literally never happened before (give us another shot pls)”.
So it’s interesting for the news that it takes on a different context when said breathlessly: “UNPRECEDENTED failure!”
