What is notable about this terse update is the lack of information, and no mention of a DDoS attack.

People had expected some form of incident report. What actually happened? What actions were taken to restore service? Contributing technical & systemic causes? Actions taken to diminish likelihood & impact of future similar recurrences?

We don't know. One would hope that tech media will ask them.

It also now seems incumbent on tech media to ask them for more information on the outage as detailed above.
