Wereldwijd was het dus… en ik maar denken dat het aan Italië lag… Vanmorgen probeerde ik opnieuw in te loggen, maar er moet nu eerst een nieuwe versie van MSN op gezet worden en dat gaat hier op het NIR denk ik wel even duren, dus voorlopig ben ik offline.
Microsoft said late Tuesday that it had resolved problems that had caused a significant outage affecting its MSN Messenger service worldwide. A company representative declined to elaborate on the nature of the problem, or the steps Microsoft took in fixing it. In an earlier statement, the representative said the outage was caused by an “isolated issue that we’ve located in the data center.” The problem had affected a “significant” number of MSN Messenger users intermittently since Monday afternoon, the representative said. The latest outage comes days after security monitors discovered the Bropia worm was using MSN Messenger to spread. The Microsoft spokeswoman denied the outage was caused by the worm. Last October, a glitch crippled many MSN Messenger users around the world. In March of last year, MSN suffered a couple of outages over a weeklong period. Some speculated that one of the blackouts was caused by sign-in problems from its Passport service. Microsoft denied Passport experienced any problems during the down period.
