    Unlikely. The most likely cause is that it was caused by a misconfiguration, like someone typo’d a line in a file somewhere, which then propagated outwards when everything downstream got the faulty update.

    If it was a solar flare,or cyberwarfare, it would be more indiscriminate, rather than targeting a specific vendor’s hardware or a single network.

    Edit: Sure enough, it was a botched update.
