BREAKING: Popular Internet telephony service Skype has crashed, inhibiting communication for millions of users trying to phone home for the holidays, according to numerous web reports.


Users across the globe reported issues accessing the service this morning prompting the company to acknowledge the issue on Twitter: "Some of you may have problems signing in to Skype -- we're investigation, and we're sorry for the disruption to your conversations."

Skype followed up with another tweet assuring users that their "engineers and site operations are working non-stop to get things back to normal."

The last major outage occurred in 2007 and lasted an entire day.
