Before Google popped up and created an empire, Hotmail was one of the biggest services in the e-mail business. There are still many Angolans relying entirely on these services from Microsoft.
Yesterday Outlook (Ex-Hotmail) had a problem that affected a good part of its users. If you noticed an increase in the amount of spam emails in your Outlook or Hotmail account, then do not think it strange: Microsoft spam filters for your Outlook.com email service experienced problems during 12 hours, and the company corrected the issues at 13h00 yesterday.
Some users may be receiving excessive excessive spam emails. It was a warning on Microsoft's Outlook.com service status site.
According to Microsoft has implemented a solution to solve short-term spam problem. A second correction should resolve the issue in the long run.
In my account I have set some filters to avoid spam directly in the inbox, so I did not even notice the failure initially, but Outlook has been known for some time because it is the Spammers' paradise, we receive emails from various parts of the world, from various topics and many of them presenting serious security risks. This is the chance that Microsoft has to solve this issue once and for all, otherwise Google will be very happy.
Have you been affected by this failure?
