Microsoft 365 outage: Services stabilizing after global disruption hits Outlook, Teams

standard.co.uk —

Microsoft is seeing "early signs of stabilisation" but has not fully restored Outlook, Teams, and Microsoft 365 services after a global outage disrupted millions of users worldwide. Executive vice-president Charles Lamanna said the issue is being worked on with "urgency," while Microsoft extended the email timeout window to 48 hours to protect delayed messages. The company confirmed no malicious activity caused the incident. At its peak, over 130,000 US users reported Outlook issues, with problems flagged in 74 countries including the UK, India, and New Zealand. Police forces urged people to call 101 or 999 for reports, and courts, charities, and banks also faced disruptions.
