No, this is only bad news for sysadmin's who either don't understand the 
technology they are using ( does it surprise you that 'cloud' is still 
just a bunch of computers in a DC ?), or just failed to put in place 
safeguards that were needed ( if they were not needed, its no problem 
when services are down right ? )

Looking at stuff like this :

wonders what kind of crazy people are entrusted with information and the 
responsibility to run services of this nature :/
