We offer an API behind Azure DNS. As a hacky, but functional, workaround for our customers they can manually add our server's IP address to their /etc/hosts file. It'd be important for them to revert that once DNS returns; however as a quick fix this might help some people.

Teams is down too

I can’t play Flight Simulator, even, as apparently setting up offline mode requires being online.

Looks like L3, Azure and Google are all being affected by a DNS DDoS attack.

Just as DevOps thought of closing the lid for Easter. Nice.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Cortana's revenge for Microsoft shutting her down.

Cortana's Revenge would be a great name for a System Shock style thriller.

Siri Skynet Cortana sounds like a female italian mob lawyer from an anime.

Seems like it's coming back up? Sites that were giving DNS errors are now resolving for me.

Yup, it does seem to be coming back alive. A 3rd party API that I use is in an Azure data center. My customers were reporting outages, but I just got a text from a customer that things are working in real life. So, coming back up!
