La Poste, France's postal service, is largely offline, possibly due to an unexplained incident. At the time of writing, the organization's website offers only a brief message that opens "Notre site est indisponible" - our site is unavailable - and adds that its teams are doing all they can to resolve the situation quickly. On its Facebook page, La Poste published a notice that states "A major network incident is currently disrupting all of our information systems."

A startup torches $120K in 72 hours because autoscaling had no ceiling; a DDoS popped up, the cluster spun 2,000 m5.24xlarges, and by the time anyone parsed the Slack noise, the bill looked like a phone number.
