New England Patriots rookies reported to training camp on Friday.
However, they will be without a key tool as they begin their NFL journey. Microsoft is currently experiencing an outage, and the Patriots, like many NFL teams, rely on them for their services, as noted by The Athletic’s Chad Graff.
The Microsoft outage is a result of what was supposed to be a security update by the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. This caused everything from airports to restaurants having service issues. Starbucks’ mobile ordering app, for example, temporarily closed down as a result of the outage.
