Faculty and students attending Oxford University in the U.K. are currently without access to several Microsoft services, including Hotmail, MSN, Live, and others. Oxford ICT officer Peter Bushnell reached out to DailyTech about the apparent blacklist that "has been going on for a week now" after unsuccessfully trying to get a straight answer from Microsoft. Bushnell says the university has been in contact with Microsoft to resolve the issue, but so far the communication raises more questions than it answers.
"We have only been given a small snippet from the Microsoft postmaster, 'We are unable to take action... we are not at liberty to discuss the nature of the block.' That's a nice brickwall Microsoft has," Bushnell told DailyTech.
According to DailyTech, Oxford University's claims check out, and the school's ICT homepage is posting a notice about the outage. A Microsoft spokespeson DailyTech has worked with in the past is reaching out to colleagues in hopes of finding out exactly what is going on.
