"We have determined that a third-party solution commonly accessed from Windows Phones is configured in a manner that potentially cause larger than expected data downloads. We are in contact with the third party to assist them in making the necessary fixes, and are also pursuing potential workarounds to address the configuration issue in case those are needed. At this point in our investigation, we believe this is responsible for most of the reported incidents."
A pesky bug that reportedly uploads upwards of 50MB of data to unsuspecting Windows Phone 7 users may finally have been unearthed. It is believed that a third-party solution is at least partly to blame. Microsoft is working together with the solution provider on a fix. Readers: have any of you experienced this issue?
