It would appear the newsgroup access via the web-interface <yuck> has been
horked since sometime last weekend. But this hasn't affect NNTP
(newsreader) access.

You can still access Security.HomeUsers and all other MS newsgroups,
including this one, using your default newsreader and the MS newsserver
news://msnews.microsoft.com

As I said, there appear to be issues when using the web-interface to access
the MS newsgroups. I dunno what's wrong.

>> Security.HomeUsers newsgroup:
>> news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.security.homeusers
>>
>> Security General (this one):
>> news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.security

Click on either of the above links to open the newsgroup in your default
newsreader. If you're running Windows, they'll open in Outlook Express,
hence the other two links I posted.
