Global technology provider Microsoft has revealed the cause of this morning's widespread major outage.

The software giant shocked the world today, after Microsoft users were left locked out of their emails, Teams and Exchange.

The welcome news on a Friday morning Australian time has seen pretty much all local users urge Microsoft to not worry too much about it.

While the IT guy turning the system on and off again hasn't result in much luck, Microsoft have confirmed that they've found the source of the outage.

Speaking exclusively to The Betoota Advocate (in yet another major international scoop for our humble regional Queensland newspaper), Microsoft have confirmed that someone's kid has tried to download some Linkin Park on Limewire off their parents computer.

It's not known who exactly the culprit is, but it's believed someone in the company's kid has used the famous Peer 2 Peer service to try and get a free copy of the seminal Californian bands album.

"Look, we are just glad it wasn't someone going on a porno website, or the CEO clicking on a pop up for hot milfs in the area," said a company spokesperson today.

"We obviously haven't fixed the issue yet, but now we know where it's coming from, we should be able to get it sorted in a jiffy."

More to come.
