Outage disrupts Microsoft services

Microsoft said late Thursday that problems with its .Net Passport servers briefly locked some subscribers out of their online accounts. "Some users have been experiencing some intermittent problems with sign in," said Microsoft spokesman Adam Sohn. "It was a networking issue with a small subset of accounts." Sohn said the company detected problems with the .Net Passport servers around 3:30 p.m. PST and the company's technical team had it under control about three hours later. "We think we've fixed it and we're continuing to monitor the situation," he said.
