Microsoft Tech Outages: Bad Computer Code Blamed

Blue Screen of Death, Service Disruptions Plague Users

Retailers forced closures amid widespread tech malfunctions

Microsoft's service health status page has a new message: "We're having issues, but we're working on it." The announcement comes as Microsoft users around the world are experiencing an error screen known as the blue screen of death. The widespread tech outages have led to retailers closing for the day.

The root cause of the ongoing issues has been traced back to a batch of bad computer code. A flawed software update sent out by a little-known cybersecurity vendor is believed to have triggered the widespread outages.

Microsoft said on Friday that the underlying cause of the outage of its 365 apps and services has been fixed. However, the residual impact of the cybersecurity outages is still being felt. Users may continue to experience intermittent disruptions and delays.

This incident serves as a reminder of the critical role that technology plays in our daily lives. When tech systems fail, it can have a ripple effect that impacts businesses, individuals, and even entire economies.
