Skype Works on Software Flaw Suspected in Worldwide Outage
View at The Washington Post
Problems continued yesterday for Skype, an Internet-based phone company, as it tried to patch up a software glitch that left many of its 220 million customers disconnected.
Worldwide disruption spanning Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America began on Thursday, prompting rumors on the Web about the cause of the outage, including speculation that the service had been attacked by Russian hackers, or that the failure was the result of problems caused by a recent software update.
Skype denied the whodunit rumors of an online attack yesterday, saying last night that "the situation continues to improve."
