The article notes that Microsoft's DDoS protection mechanisms were misconfigured, which amplified the attack. It mentions that services such as Microsoft Teams, Xbox Live, and others were affected. The article also references a prior outage linked to a CrowdStrike software update. No mention of Royal Bank of Scotland Group appears anywhere in the text.

Because the source material does not contain any information about an incident involving Royal Bank of Scotland Group, no factual details can be extracted. Consequently, a chronological account, impact assessment, or description of response actions for such an incident cannot be constructed from the given source.
