I thought one of the points of a cloud is that it's in multiple places at the same time. One goes down, another takes over.

It was a DNS issue, which is surprising.

Leave it to Microsoft to follow industry standard security practices in all of its products and services.

Yeah, it wasn't just cloud services. I've had quite a few sporadic dns issues over the last few days. It's quite possible that someone's being naughty in the black hat world...

@W3bbo For non critical backups like pictures and videos of family weddings, christenings and so on, then the cloud does present a pretty good online way to backup your data.
If you are unable to access it for a while then it is bad, but not calamitous. if you are running your business of it, then I am sure the lawyers are working out the small print as we speak, so read your small print when you take a package out.
