So one of our teams suffered a short DDOS attack that, unfortunately, affected the entire organization. It was immediately recognizable. I was "on vacation (in Hurricane Helene)" at the time and saw it happen.
When I got back, the fingers were flying, since someone hit the magic" spend money on cloud resources" button in a panic.
Being trapped on a mountain gives you perspective.
