February 8, 2005Microsoft said late Tuesday that it had resolved problems that had caused a significant outage affecting its MSN Messenger service worldwide.
A company representative declined to elaborate on the nature of the problem, or the steps Microsoft took in fixing it. In an earlier statement, the representative said the outage was caused by an “isolated issue that we’ve located in the data center.”
The problem had affected a “significant” number of MSN Messenger users intermittently since Monday afternoon, the representative said.
The latest outage comes days after security monitors discovered the Bropia worm was using MSN Messenger to spread. The Microsoft spokeswoman denied the outage was caused by the worm.

the cleaner unplugged the 4-way plug to 2 MSN Messenger servers and the 2 routers on it so she could hoover the server roomFebruary 12, 2005 at 4:54 am #114110duphusParticipantLOL, yeah right! Cleaners in a data center.. what a joke.
February 12, 2005 at 5:16 am #114108Jeff HesterKeymasterThat rumor is an obvious joke. The server rooms for MSN Messenger are NOT wired like your typical family room.

I’d certainly prefer to know exactly why I was knocked offline randomly for 2 days, occassionally able to sign in.
