REDMOND, Washington (The Thursday Times) — Microsoft Jumme ko bhi Outlook aur apni deegar daftari services bahal karne ke liye koshan raha, taqreeban aik din pehle aik aalmi bandish ne darjanon mulkon mein sarifeen ki email munqata kar di thi aur sarkari daftaron, airlines aur hospitalon ka kaam mutasir hua tha.
Masail Jumeraat ko taqreeban 16:00 GMT, yani Pakistan mein raat 9 baje shuru hue, jab sarifeen ne shikayat ki ke woh Outlook nahin khol pa rahe. Teams aur company ka masnoi zahanat ka muawin Copilot bhi mutasir hue. Jumeraat ki shaam tak bandish par nazar rakhne wali website Downdetector par 74 mulkon se Outlook ke masail ki taqreeban aik lakh 40 hazar shikayaat darj ho chuki thin. Asal tadaad is se kahin zyada hone ka imkaan hai, kyunke yeh website sirf un logon ko shumar karti hai jo khud kharabi ki ittila dete hain.
Microsoft ke mutabiq us ke bari tadaad mein servers "ghair mutawaqqa taur par dastyab nahin rahe", jis se baqi servers par "izafi bojh" para, aur yeh izafi dabao traffic barhne ki wajah se nahin tha. Company ne raat ko kaha ke us ke iqdamaat "tawaqqo ke mutabiq kargar nahin ho rahe". Jumme ko us ne "istehkam ke ibtidai aasaar" ki ittila di, taham kaha ke gunjaish abhi mamool par nahin aayi. Company aik network tabdeeli bhi wapas le rahi thi, lekin us ne yeh nahin bataya ke aaya bandish ki wajah wohi tabdeeli thi.
Microsoft ke mutabiq cyber hamla nahin
Company ne cyber hamle ko kharij az imkaan qarar diya hai. Microsoft mein Copilot, Agents aur Platform ke executive naib sadar Charles Lamanna ne Jumeraat ki raat X par aik post mein kaha ke "is baat ka koi ishara nahin ke yeh kisi badniyati par mabni ya cyber sargarmi ka nateeja hai".
Australia ke wazir-e-dakhla Tony Burke ne kaha ke Microsoft ne unhein bhi yehi bataya hai. Unhon ne is kharabi ka muwazna 2024 ki CrowdStrike bandish se karte hue kaha ke company ke khayal mein use "aik aisi update ka saamna hai jo bigar gayi hai".
Singapore aur Japan mein sarkari nizaam mutasir hue, jabke Philippines ki Supreme Court ka rabta nizaam bhi mutasir hua. Australia mein mulk ki jasoosi agency aur wafaqi police mutasira idaron mein shamil thin. Bartania mein doctoron ke clinics, pharmacies, police forces aur schools ne masail ki ittila di, aur airlines ne musafiron ke liye hidayaat jaari kin. Yeh bandish Microsoft ki services par inhisar karne wali companiyon tak bhi pohanchi, aur OpenAI aur Anthropic dono ne masail ki ittila di.
"Aik karobari din zaya"
Microsoft ki website ke mutabiq 43 crore se zyada log Microsoft 365 apps istemal karte hain. Microsoft ne yeh nahin bataya ke kitne sarifeen mutasir hue.
Skype aur Uber ke sabiq senior engineer Gergely Orosz ne kaha ke yeh karobari email ki "ab tak ki" "sab se zyada khalal dalne wali" bandish ho sakti hai, aur unhein yaad nahin ke kisi bandish ko theek hone mein itna waqt laga ho. New Zealand ki mushawarati firm Gorilla Technology ke Paul Spain ne kaha ke bohat si companiyon ka amalan "aik karobari din zaya ho gaya".
