Major Disruption: Microsoft: Service Fully Restored
Meetings could not be properly planned, calendars were down: The Microsoft outage crippled central cloud services. The problems have been overcome.
Microsoft has announced that a severe disruption to its central cloud services has been resolved. The issue affected several services, including Outlook, Microsoft 365, Teams, Copilot, and interfaces with third-party providers like OpenAI and Anthropic. The company stated that the problem was caused by an in-house issue, not a cyberattack or AI activity, and was linked to a recent network capacity upgrade. The disruption was not related to a technical glitch that caused thousands of flight cancellations in the US.
