Microsoft 365 Outage Disrupts Global Services for Second Day

A worldwide Microsoft outage affecting Outlook, Teams, and Copilot has entered its second day, disrupting email and office services for governments and businesses globally, with recovery still incomplete. Microsoft reported "encouraging recovery progress in Europe" and improving access in North America, but users may still face intermittent issues. The company stated there is no evidence of malicious activity. Municipalities in the U.S., the U.K. government, and Japan's IT infrastructure have reported significant disruptions. The outage has impacted airlines in India, Australia's federal agencies, and the Philippines' Supreme Court. Microsoft is restarting and repairing affected infrastructure, using automated systems to speed recovery. This incident follows similar disruptions in 2024 linked to CrowdStrike and other recent Microsoft 365 outages.
