Microsoft security discovered that a number of employee devices were affected by malware. The employees had visited unsafe websites and downloaded material. It is unclear if the employee devices spread the infection to other areas of Microsofts network, but Microsoft found no evidence of customer data being affected. Facebook, Twitter, and Apple were affected by a similar issue around the same time. (English)
