Microsoft’s cloud service has been hit by another outage, weeks after an IT failure in cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike’s services ground the world to a halt.
In a post on X, Cambridge Water said some of its services were down this afternoon. “Due to worldwide issues with Microsoft Azure, a problem with our website is affecting several services including MyAccount and PayNow,” said the water company.
Microsoft said it is investigating reports of user problems, saying: “We are investigating reports of issues connecting to Microsoft services globally.
The company then announced it implemented a fix that seemed to be solving the problem, saying there was “improvement in service availability” and it was “continuing to monitor to ensure full recovery”.
The service status website still showed global issues, however.
