In the context of an outage at a service provider this slightly sloppy language is sufficient to convey all relevant meaning.
In the current context, this language is part of a pattern to carefully choose words in such a way as to downplay what has happened.
As I said, the work of the CEO, the cybersecurity team and the legal team is part of the overall production process at a software company.

- fauigerzigerk 3y agoIf my coffee machine suddenly stopped working it would definitely have a detrimental effect on production. I can guarantee you that :) But in general I would say routine janitorial maintenance issues don't have quite the same potential to affect production as Russian criminals reading the email of Microsoft's cybersecurity team.
