Microsoft’s 3rd Crash in Two Weeks<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n
For the 3rd time in ten days, a major Microsoft outage has rendered Office 365 completely useless. Users of Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint were without service for over five hours on Sept. 28, four hours on Oct. 1<\/a>, and for intermittent periods of time today, Oct. 7<\/a>.<\/span><\/h6>\n
These outages have been impacting users across the world, but have been most intense in the United States, specifically the Northeast, Midwest, and much of California.
\n<\/span><\/h6>\n

Are Hackers Causing the Crashes?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
These outages are not suspected to be the result of malicious hacking. Per Microsoft, a chain of poorly-constructed internal updates<\/a> has caused the interruptions. A company spokesperson said \u201cAt this time, we’ve seen no indication that this is the result of malicious activity.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n
Update (10\/23\/2020): <\/em>Microsoft since reversed course, confirming that these outages were in fact a result of malicious hacking activity. announced that it has successfully disrupted Trickbot\u2019s botnet after it had ensnared some of its Office 365 users. The company submitted a legal request to take down the botnet infrastructure ran by hackers<\/a>.<\/h6>\n
