Drones over U.S. may pose security risks
REDMOND, W.Va., Dec. 4 (UPI) -- U.S. software giant Microsoft Corp. said it was working on preventing a repeat of the type of outage that hit its Bing Internet search platform Thursday.
Users experienced widespread outages of the Bing search engine for about 30 minutes Thursday evening, IDG News Service reported Friday.
Microsoft senior vice president of Outline Services Division Satya Nadella wrote in a company blog that Microsoft was "running a post mortem to find out how our software and processes need to be improved to prevent anything like this from happening again."
Nadella said the cause of the outage, which left some users unable to upload the Bing and others with incomplete Web pages, was "a configuration change during some internal testing."
Bing handles 9.9 percent of U.S. Internet searches, behind Yahoo! With 18 percent and Google with 65.4 percent, IDG reported.
