I’m the cause of the Outlook outage?
I might be making stories up in my head so don’t take this too seriously. Today, right before the Outlook outage I put in a vacation request for about 13 days. I added an email that allows people to be notified (lots of people) - per company policy. We are supposed to switch it to “free” so that no one gets the notification, but I forgot to do this step before hitting the submit button. As soon as I hit the button, I realized my mistake and tried to go back almost instantly, but obviously that didn’t work. Since then my outlook crashed, would not load, so I assumed it was because of my error and only for my personal account. After an hour or two is when I heard everyone’s was down in my company. Then I heard about the entire outage. I’m not saying I really caused the outage, it’s more than likely a freak coincidence, but I still can’t help to think this caused an issue. What are your thoughts? I’d love to ease my mind a little bit.
