Microsoft now admits that its services were taken out by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack which was 'amplified' by an error in the company's cyber defences.
Sylvain Cortes, vice president of strategy at cybersecurity firm Hackuity, told MailOnline: 'Rogue actors, cybergangs, and nation-states alike leverage these tactics, so further investigation is required to determine the origin of the threat.'
Microsoft now says these issues were caused by a cyberattack that the firm failed to properly defend. Specifically, Microsoft says a preliminary investigation shows that their servers had been the target of a DDOS attack.
