Microsoft no logra recuperar la normalidad de sus servicios tras una caída global de más de 12 horas
Un ejecutivo de la compañía descarta un ciberataque detrás de los fallos que han tumbado el correo electrónico Outlook, la plataforma Teams y la IA de Copilot, entre otros programas
Microsoft is struggling to restore its services following a global outage lasting approximately 12 hours. The disruption has affected products including Outlook, Teams, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, OneNote, and the Copilot AI chatbot. According to the Jerusalem Post, the outage hit government agencies in the United States, Japan, and Australia, as well as companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI.
Gulf News reports that Indian airlines IndiGo and Akasa Air experienced disruptions to their email support services, though Air India stated its flight operations and communication systems remained unaffected.
Microsoft has attributed the outage to server problems. Charles Lamanna, Microsoft's executive vice president of Copilot, and reports from BBC News indicate that the incident was not caused by a cyber-security attack. While the company has made adjustments to affected servers and observed some partial recovery in certain regions, these actions have not yet led to a sustained recovery.
Downdetector tracked significant impact, showing more than 130,000 reports of Outlook problems in the US at its peak on Thursday. As the disruption stretched into Asia-Pacific business hours on Friday, outages were also reported in India, Australia, and Japan. This marks the second disruption to Microsoft 365 services this year.
