Microsoft's Outlook and Skype Are Facing Outages

People from all corners of the world are reporting connectivity issues when using Microsoft Skype and Office 365's Outlook, they said on Wednesday. The users are seeing a "Throttled" error message when attempting to access either of the aforementioned services, they said. From a report: The weird text box pops up in the chat software and cloud-backed email client, preventing people from sending messages, and talking to contacts. This is, according to Microsoft, due to a botched update to Azure's backend authentication systems. The internal upgrade was introduced as its engineers brought servers knocked out by storms in Texas back online. Outlook Web Access is said to be unaffected. According to mailing list chatter among IT bods and other sysadmins seen by The Register in the past hour, as well as tweets and Reddit threads, the outage is hitting businesses and subscribers at least throughout America, Canada, the UK, and Europe. Microsoft Office 365 tweeted just before 3 p.m. ET that the company has rolled back an update that was causing the throttling. It is testing to be sure that the problem is resolved.
