An internal Microsoft India engineer just leaked why the Microsoft 365 outage is taking too long to fix, and it's every software company in 2026:

Big Tech executives:

1. Lay off the senior engineers who built the core infrastructure
2. Give sub 5% hikes to the ones who stay
3. Refuse to promote anyone doing "boring" reliability work
4. Force everyone to ship half baked AI wrappers instead

What actually happens when production breaks at 3 AM:

@Pirat_Nation Microsoft 364 and counting

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

‼️ UPDATE: Microsoft 365 is still broken after more than 14 hours, and Europe is starting work with Outlook inboxes that won't open.

Microsoft says its servers are steadier since it patched an authentication and routing configuration component. It gives no time for a full fix.

Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive and Copilot are down or badly hit, and Teams calendars fail. Intune and Defender, which IT teams use to manage and protect staff devices, are hit too.

Downdetector peaked at about 140,000 Outlook reports. The BBC counts at least 74 countries affected, from Australia's spy agency ASIO to courts in Singapore, Los Angeles and Texas.

Servers Microsoft brought back froze again once traffic hit them. It says this is not a cyberattack.

Early on, it said it had found no recent change linked to the outage. The Guardian reports it now suggests server configuration settings may be to blame.

Meanwhile at Microsoft

‼️ A hacker says an 8GB Nvidia crypto-mining card hides 80GB of memory. She unlocked it, and in her tests it outran Nvidia's A100 AI chip.

The CMP 170HX uses the same chip as the A100, with the extra memory locked off by fuses. Kate broke the lock by glitching its voltage with a homemade STM32 board that she says an AI model designed.

That switched on up to 126 compute units, more than the 108 on any A100. It hit 85.9 TFLOP/s in FP16 against 72.5 for a retail A100, with all 80GB usable.

Each card took 1 to 48 hours of glitching. One of her 10 only gave up 64GB.

Your AMD Radeon drivers could be secretly destroying your SSD and you might not even notice

A bug in AMD’s graphics drivers is causing some SSDs to constantly write data in the background, even when the PC is idle.

Some users have reported write speeds of up to 5 MB/s. If that continues around the clock, it could mean as much as 432 GB of writes per day.

The issue appears to be linked to atieclxx.exe, a background process included with AMD’s graphics software.

AMD has acknowledged the problem and is reportedly testing a fix, but there’s no release date yet.

[NeowinFeed @NeowinFeed]

Windows users with Radeon GPUs report a driver service writing to their SSD nonstop, with reported rates around 1MB/s and up to 5MB/s. Neowin reports an AMD rep has acknowledged it, with a potential fix in final testing.

Few people know that the familiar Nokia ringtone originated from a classical guitar piece called Gran Vals, composed by Spanish composer Francisco Tárrega in 1902.

Windows 11 PCs can now be hacked through Microsoft Paint.

an 8.1/10 vulnerability in the image editor allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute malicious code remotely.

Microsoft has released a fix, but don’t assume it already reached your PC.

Paint 11.2609.401.0 and newer is patched.

if yours is older, update it through the Microsoft Store before opening Paint again.

yes, Paint.
