Global Microsoft outage disrupts Outlook and Teams for millions worldwide

nos.nl (Dutch) —

A global Microsoft outage has disrupted Microsoft 365 services, including Outlook and Teams, affecting millions of users across over 70 countries since yesterday at 5:15 PM Dutch time. The company attributes the issue to unexpected server unavailability causing infrastructure strain, not a cyberattack. Restart attempts have failed so far, and services like email, online meetings, and AI features remain impacted. With over 430 million Microsoft 365 subscribers, the outage also affects tech giants like OpenAI and Anthropic. Microsoft says it is working intensively on a fix, but expects the disruption to continue for some time.
