The company is looking for the “best mitigation strategy to address it without causing additional impact”.
There is no suggestion that Microsoft has been hacked.
“We’ve rolled back a network change that we believe is causing impact,” Microsoft tweeted.
“We’re monitoring the service as the rollback takes effect.”
