Microsoft sites blocked

REDMOND, JAN. 26. Hackers blocked access to several websites owned by the Microsoft Corp., just one day after the software giant corrected an employee's error that shut consumers out of its sites.

The so-called ``denial-of-service attack`` occurred yesterday morning, intermittently keeping web surfers shut out from Microsoft Internet properties such as Microsoft.Com and MSN.Com, the company said in a statement.
