Microsoft suffered a major power failure overnight, leaving millions of users unable to access its online services. The BBC reports that Microsoft was still analyzing the cause of the problem on Friday morning, but said the outage appeared to be related to the internet's Domain Name Service address system.
"Continue working on service restoration for #Office365,” Microsoft tweeted through its official @Office365 account. “Seems to be DNS issue. Intermittent connectivity for all regions."
The disruption is believed to have lasted around two and a half hours, from 2300 Thursday night to 0130 Friday EDT.
