Microsoft restored the services after a large-scale outage

Microsoft services affected by the massive outage have been restored and are now operating stably. This was announced on November 13 by the developer's press service.

"We are witnessing the restoration and stability of our services," reads a statement in X (ex. Twitter).

Representatives of the corporation clarified that they are aware of their responsibility to customers and regret any technical problems.

According to the statement, the failure was not due to artificial intelligence (AI) technologies or cybercriminals, but due to the consequences of a previous network bandwidth upgrade. Microsoft has promised that they will provide a full report on the incident in the near future.

The corporation is accused of abusing its dominant position

Massive disruptions in Microsoft services became known the day before. In particular, they were recorded in the USA, Britain, Germany, Canada and France. The company itself recognized the problems even in South America and stated that they began to study them.

The first positive results in the restoration of services appeared by November 13. By the evening of the same day, the developers reported on the elimination of the root cause of the problems. At the same time, in Britain, they suggested what could have caused the problem: representatives of Larry the cat, a permanent resident of the British Prime Minister's residence on Downing Street, joked that the malfunction could have been caused by a "kitten that bit the wires."
