Software: Microsoft behebt weltweite Störung – Ausfall trifft auch Hotelschwimmbad
Ursache war nach Angaben des Konzerns ein Fehler bei einem Netzwerk-Upgrade, ein Cyberangriff sei ausgeschlossen. Die Panne hatte auch Folgen für ein Schwimmbad im Phantasialand in Brühl bei Köln.
On Saturday, Microsoft announced that a major disruption affecting its office software programs had been resolved. The company posted on its website that all systems were now operating normally. The issues were not limited to the email service Outlook; they encompassed a range of services within the Microsoft 365 cloud package. For instance, the team communication service Teams experienced issues with scheduling meetings and linking calendars.
Additionally, the online assistant Copilot and interfaces with third-party providers were intermittently disrupted, including AI services such as OpenAI and Anthropic. Microsoft had been gradually improving the restoration of features since Friday afternoon. The company emphasized that the outage was due to an internal problem rather than a cyberattack or AI activity.
Furthermore, there was no connection between this technical failure and the series of flight cancellations in the United States that had occurred late Friday evening (CET). The root cause, according to Microsoft, stemmed from an upgrade to network capacity that had been performed earlier, with glitches arising only after recent network changes.
