Hot Take:

IBM’s week is cloudier than Seattle in November, with outages and vulnerabilities raining down like it’s monsoon season. Maybe they should consider renaming their cloud service to “Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Outages”!

Key Points:

  • IBM’s cloud services experienced a significant outage, leaving users unable to access resources or support.
  • The outage was similar to a previous event on May 21, with no cause disclosed.
  • IBM issued a critical vulnerability alert for its QRadar and Cloud Pak for Security tools.
  • IBM Japan apologized for the inconvenience, but customer frustration might still be sky-high.
  • While the vulnerabilities are concerning, recent upgrades mean not all users are affected.
