Sounds like the opposite of the survivor bias. I don't believe it's any sort of common (though it does happen), even less that "it should be the first scenario in your disaster recovery plan"
- kelnos 7y agoEven if the stories we hear of account lockouts isn't typical, the absolute number of them that we see -- especially those (like this one) that appear to be locked (and re-locked) by automated processes -- should be cause for concern when setting up a new business on someone else's infrastructure.
- jdietrich 7y agoIf you plan for the "all of our cloud infrastructure has failed simultaneously and irreparably" scenario, you get a whole bunch of other disaster scenarios bundled in for free.
