It feels a little strange and calculated since the outage impacted mostly US based regions, that Google released this update late at night (relative to Central and Eastern time).

Wouldn't it make more sense to release it tomorrow, Tuesday at like 11am Eastern (8am Pacific) for full transparency for the affected companies?

It makes sense to release a report as soon as it is ready, especially for an incident as major as this one. People can read it whenever they want.

I think your time zones are mixed up, but yeah that would make sense. But in the end the people who want/need to know will find it anyway.

Oops, you are right. Edited, but my point stands. :-)

Google was clearing their data collection servers due to an NSA audit
