Microsoft 365, Outlook and Teams outage of ten hours worldwide

Microsoft 365, Outlook, and Teams were out of service for approximately ten hours. The ongoing outage has affected thousands of users around the world, from the United States to European countries.

 Microsoft said it is still working to restore service on the affected servers.

 "We have monitored the status of the changes made so far and have found that they are not delivering the desired effect. We are developing alternative strategies to increase capacity, given the ongoing imbalances in traffic management," they said.

 Meanwhile, according to a Microsoft executive, Microsoft's global outage was not caused by a cybersecurity breach.

“We will continue to share more information as we have it, and for now I can confirm that there is no indication that this is the result of malicious or cyber activity,” Charles Lamanna, executive vice president of Copilot, Agents and Platform at Microsoft, said in a post on X.
Earlier, Australia’s Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said the company had told him it “does not believe they are dealing with a cyber attack.”

"They believe they are operating in some ways similar to what we saw with CrowdStrike, where there is an update that went wrong," Burke added during a press conference in Sydney.

Burke was referring to the 2024 software problem at cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike that crashed computers, canceled flights and disrupted hospitals across the globe, causing billions of dollars in losses.
