Seems like quite the overblown headline, but it reminded me of the recent self-inflicted email DoS at the NHS: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/nov/14/1

  But this (the e-mail DoS) isn't even an extreme case. When you have on the order of a million accounts, especially when you have large distribution lists, you need to consider this as an expected case (and the best practice solution is pretty well understood: limit send-rights to large distribution lists to the people who need it). It's depressing how little effort Microsoft invests in trying to fix the obvious brokenness[1] of email (including reply-all) and (especially) calendaring. It's a particular contrast to the often controversially heavy handed actions by Google to "outlaw" insecure internet practises. 1: The brokenness is obvious, the solutions admittedly less so.
