Microsoft.com down, up, struggling
Found on The Inquirer on Sunday, 08 February 2004
Microsoft's Web site disappeared from our Internet radar this morning. The site may have been struck down by attacks by virus writers who threatened to target Microsoft in the way SCO was targeted last week.
According to Netcraft here, Microsoft.com went down at midnight London time. Microsofties are currently beaving away to repair the damage, we understand, though no statement is yet forthcoming from the Vole concerning what the reasons for the outage are.
Finally, a hit! It was about time, after several worms failed to take MS down.
