微软办公软件 Outlook 周五上午发生临时故障，干扰了香港金融业员工的工作。
The temporary outage of Microsoft’s office software Outlook disrupted employees’ work in Hong Kong’s financial sector on Friday morning.
据多家银行内部人士透露，员工发现软件瘫痪后，部分人不得不离线办公。《南华早报》获悉，高盛和野村证券的银行家表示工作受到干扰。
After workers found the software was down, some staff had to work offline, according to sources from multiple banks. Bankers from Goldman Sachs and Nomura said their work had been disrupted, the South China Morning Post learned.
“从今天凌晨起我们就无法收发邮件，问题至今仍在持续，”一名野村员工于上午 11 点 10 分对《南华早报》表示。“我们人在办公室却几乎无事可做。”一名高盛员工称，该行香港办事处不得不启用备用邮箱系统以访问邮件并维持业务运转。
“We haven’t been able to send or receive emails since the early hours of this morning, and the problem is still ongoing,” a Nomura employee told the SCMP at 11.10am. “We’re in the office with little to do.”An employee at Goldman Sachs said the bank’s Hong Kong office had to use an alternative mailbox system to access emails and continue business operations.
另一家美国大型投行的一名不愿具名的员工说：“有些人陷入了恐慌。”微软服务从周五凌晨起不可用。微软未立即回复《南华早报》发出的电子邮件置评请求。
“Some people were in [a] panic,” said an employee at another major US investment bank, who declined to be named. Microsoft services had been unavailable since the early hours of Friday. Microsoft did not immediately respond to an emailed inquiry from the SCMP.
