A massive service outage like this could help in some ways. Bypassing usual change control, bypassing logged auth systems, missing logs as log servers were inaccessible, bypassing physical access controls in DCs to implement emergency fixes... I have absolutely no beliefs in any direction at this point but a major service outage (I can't imagine how it could have been much worse) could act as cover for either internal nefarious actions or even a bad actor if they were quick/prepared enough to exploit the situation.
