Microsoft is currently investigating the issue, and has identified a problem with a recent update made to an authentication system that may have caused the current outages. Microsoft has rolled back the update in an attempt to mitigate the impact of the issue, although as of now, it looks like many are still experiencing service outages and are having difficulty getting connected to anything.
