Outlook und Teams: Microsoft-Dienste für Verbraucher arbeiten nach Störung wieder

Düsseldorf: Microsoft has fully resolved the outages affecting its consumer-focused services, including Outlook and Teams, the company announced. The services were fully operational for consumers by Friday at 5:10 PM (CET), according to the US tech giant. Microsoft 365 services for corporate customers are also showing signs of steady recovery, but before the issue can be considered resolved for business users, the backlog of accumulated emails must first be cleared.

Due to the severity of the incident, the situation is being monitored over a longer period, the company's status page states. A massive worldwide outage of Microsoft services has affected businesses, government agencies, and other users across the globe. Microsoft reported the first signs of improvement on Friday afternoon following server issues that first appeared on Thursday.

The outage was likely caused by hackers, according to Microsoft, marking the second such failure of Microsoft 365 services this year after similar problems in January. Earlier this month, a cloud platform outage, Azure, also caused disruptions globally.
