Outage hits Hotmail and MSN.com

September 9, 2011 - 3:39PM

Microsoft email services are gradually being restored following a worldwide outage that knocked email services including Windows Live Hotmail and MSN.com offline.

Australian customers reported problems logging on to the email services on social networking site Twitter from about 1pm.

Microsoft is now scrambling to bring its services, including its cloud-based software Office 365, back online.

‘‘We’re aware of an outage impacting Hotmail, SkyDrive, and our other properties. We are actively working to resolve this issue,’’ a Microsoft spokesman said via Twitter.

It is understood services were restored to some customers about 3pm, although the outage is still affected thousands of customers.

‘‘We are slowing coming back online. Please hang in there if you are still not getting to the site, Hotmail, etc,’’ a spokesman for Hotmail told Twitter users.

There is some suggestion on IT websites that Microsoft was caught in a power blackout that has hit San Diego.
