Diario Ti: Microsoft writes on his blog that one of the authentication servers in Windows Live session would have experienced difficulties resulting in a surcharge that must be absorbed by the remaining servers. This situation led to many users experience difficulties in access to Microsoft Services for about an hour.

However, this does not seem to be the whole problem. According to Business Week, some users have accidentally accessed other users’ accounts. One of them told the paper that “suddenly opened the account a user totally unfamiliar to me. I tried again with the same result. I tried it several times and each time opened a separate account.

According to Microsoft, it is uncertain whether the two events are related.

“We are investigating reports that a limited sense of Windows Live users have had access to accounts of other users trying to access them by mobile readers,” said Microsoft in a statement reprinted by publications Cnet and Bloomberg, among others.

Microsoft emphasizes that assigns critical importance to the privacy of its users, and therefore has initiated an investigation to clarify the issue.
