Is Azure somehow impacted by this? Or any other of the big providers like AWS or Google Cloud?

Maybe there’s something that Finland and Finnish ISPs could learn from the big providers? And from Ukraine how they moved everything critical into cloud?

The big cloud operators and service providers with their own backbones have redundancies on their network on multiple levels. Not just IP level but also on light path level. Giving them enough bandwidth that even with failure they don’t get congestion.

Finnish ISPs could build more connectivity even inland or higher up in the Gulf of Bothnia. But many of them haven’t as they have optimized for latency and not for redundancy.

Even Finnish government networks were shown during the COVID to be under provisioned, the. pan gateways didn’t handle remote work. And then one roadwork cut a cable next to the road it was shown that the redundant cables were in the same ditch. Service owner has just bought “redundant” connections and never confirmed it.

This one you've definitely just made up.

It was called "Project Hug". Based on the different sources it contained credits for all the google offerings such as Ads, Youtube and Google Cloud in exchange for keeping apps on the Google Play platform.

Different repots on this: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/google-reportedly-paid-activis... https://gizmodo.com/google-denies-its-project-hug-bribed-20-... https://www.theverge.com/23959932/epic-v-google-trial-antitr...

It’s so weird to observe how Alphabet doesn’t seem to even try to keep its parts separated.

Amazon at least tries keeps its companies separated from each other. AWS account teams doesn’t know what Amazon teams do and vice versa.

While Google Cloud account team constantly gets involved with Workspaces, Ads and Google Play related stuff.

If I remember right just few years ago Google was told to stop giving cheaper prices on Google Cloud based on customers Ads and Google Play revenue.

The article seems to skip the direct and continuous blood pressure measurement used by intensive care units. They will typically measure blood pressure via an invasive arterial cannulation. This enables them to get accurate measurements in real time. But as an invasive procedure it’s not without risks. At least it allowed me to sleep without nurses waking me up all the time for measurements via arm cuff.

So this blog seems to completely ignores LastPass statement from 2021-12-28:

Our investigation has since found that some of these security alerts, which were sent to a limited subset of LastPass users, were likely triggered in error. As a result, we have adjusted our security alert systems and this issue has since been resolved.

Have to say that while Open Source is in the title and all you can only find one single link to source code in the middle of Story -page. Would hope to see "Download" or typical "Form me on Github" -ribbon at the corner.
