I did hear that it was caused by a solar flare, but I haven’t actually checked that. If it wasn’t a solar flare, I wonder if it could’ve been a case of cyber warfare?
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.
