Multifaktor-Authentifizierung für Azure u. Office 365 gestört?

Aktuell (18. Oktober 2019) scheint es zu Störungen bei der Multifaktor-Authentifizierung für Azure und Office 365 zu kommen. Zumindest sind Kunden in Nordamerika betroffen. Ergänzung: Wir haben Sonntag, den 20. Oktober 2019, und die Störung hält an.

Ich bin gerade auf Twitter über eine Nachricht von Microsoft 365 Status gestolpert, die mich auf das Thema aufmerksam gemacht hat.

Dort wird Administratoren, die nicht auf das Admin-Center zugreifen können, geraten, die Statusseite von Microsoft 365 aufzusuchen. Auf der Microsoft 365 Service Health Status-Seite findet sich aktuell der nachfolgende Text:

Title: Unable to access Microsoft 365 services
User Impact: Users may be unable to sign in to Microsoft 365 services. More info: Users may not receive authentication requests via phone call, SMS or within their authenticator app.
Current status: We're analyzing authentication logs to isolate the cause of the issue.
Scope of impact: This issue could affect any of your users if they utilize MFA to access Microsoft 365 services.

Es gibt also laut Microsoft Probleme beim Zugriff auf Microsoft 365-Dienste von Microsoft. Vorher hatte Microsoft 365 Status Probleme mit der Multifaktor-Authentifizierung (MFA) auf Twitter eingeräumt:

Den Tweets kann ich entnehmen, dass das Leute Probleme mit der Multifaktor-Authentifizierung haben und sich nicht mehr anmelden können. Der Link im Microsoft 365 Service Health Status-Seite auf die detaillierte Statusseite dürfte dabei Probleme aufwerfen, da dazu einen Anmeldung erforderlich ist, die aber nicht funktioniert. Ich selbst kann mangels Nutzerkonto nichts testen. Ein Benutzer weist aber darauf hin.

Es scheint den Meldungen nach bereits der dritte Ausfal der MFA in diesem Jahr zu sein – Office365.com-Nutzer können dann nicht mehr online arbeiten. Bei einer kurzen Suche bin ich auf Twitter dann auf einen Tweet von Mary Foley gestoßen.

Demnach betrifft es vor allem Kunden in Nordamerika. Auf allestörungen.de gibt es für Microsoft Azure nur kleinere Störungsmeldungen.

Office365-Status

Der downdetector.com weist ab 15:00 Uhr eine Zunahme der Störungen auf. Der Dienstestatus für Office zeigt mir hier, dass alles im grünen Bereich ist. Jemand von diesem MFA-Problem in DACH betroffen? Eine Ursache ist mir noch unbekannt.

Das in obigem Video gezeigte Ereignis dürfte es eher nicht sein – da scheint eine BitCoin-Mining-Farm mit vielen Rechnern in China abzubrennen (das Ereignis war aber schon Ende September 2019, siehe auch die deutschsprachige Meldung).

Die Störung hält an

Ergänzung: Wir haben Sonntag, den 20. Oktober 2019, und die Störung hält an. Auf der Statusseite von Office365.com findet sich die Information, dass das nächste Update bezüglich der Störung am Montag, den 21. Oktober 2019 (US-Zeit) erfolgen soll. Blog-Leser Andreas P. hat mir die Störungsinfo aus einer App herausgezogen und per Mail geschickt.

Title: Can't send email with embedded images

User Impact: Users may receive a Non-Delivery Report (NDR) when sending mail with embedded images in Rich Text Format (RTF) format.

More info: Users that are sending mail with embedded images in RTF format may see a 550 NDR. Additionally, meeting requests with images may also fail to be delivered. While we're focused on isolating the underlying cause of the problem, users can send their embedded image emails in HTML format to circumvent impact.

Current status: We've determined that the recent build deployment contains a code problem which is resulting in issues when the service attempts to convert embedded images in RTF format for outbound delivery. We're working on developing a temporary fix that will allow emails with embedded images to be delivered; though, the images will be reduced to a 1×1 size and thus be unable to view. We plan to deploy the fix to the affected machines after validating that it remediates the problem as expected. In parallel, we're performing extensive code analysis on the recent changes to understand the underlying cause of this issue.

Scope of impact: This issue affects only 22 percent of our mailbox servers, as a result only a portion of users may see problems sending emails with embedded images in RTF format.

Start time: Monday, October 14, 2019, at 12:00 AM UTC

Root cause: A recent change to the Exchange Online service is inadvertently causing issues when the service is attempting to convert embedded images in RTF format for outbound delivery, resulting in NDRs for these users.
