Ah. Yes I noticed I couldn't log on
Cant see any terrorists shagging it, frankly. Microsoft are fully capable of doing that all by themselves...
Maybe, but I've never known it going down for the whole world.
oddly enough the first site to report it was 'Russia Today'
Seems the database is off line.
Twitter post >>>>>"There?s no sign of a Skype status update yet on the official Skype Support Twitter page"
Very strange.
No its Microsoft who could not run a pissup in a brewery. Brian
I wondered what that cable was in my back garden... Brian

Imagine the mess if the M$ cloud went t*ts up for all the millions of idiot businesses using it.
Ditto AWS.
I have - rather soon after MS bought it IIRC.
Remember the Hotmail shenanigans when MS bought that?
IIRC, all to do with migrating the service onto MS's toy operating system.
Skype's been down for eight & a half hours so. Must be pretty serious. I can imagine companies than use it for their business tearing their hair out by now :-)
I thought the whole point of Skype was that my PeeCee connected via the internet to my chatee's PeeCee. So this means that Skype operates like POTS, you connect to a Skype exchange which connects to your chatee's Skype exchange which connects to your chatee.
jgh
That's happened...

Not exactly. You need a database that 'knows' where the users are in terms of IP addresses.
Once you know that, then a direct connection is possible, but the skype clients are typically behind a NAT firewall router too, so you have to play some games with direct IP connections.
Yesterday, for one.
they are up ok now tho
Skype aint..
