Microsoft outage hits Teams, Outlook, and 365 for over 12 hours

Microsoft is experiencing a major server outage affecting all its cloud services, including Outlook, Teams, Microsoft 365, Azure, OneNote, OneDrive, and Microsoft ToDo, with the disruption now lasting more than 12 hours. Microsoft says a malicious cyberattack did not cause the issue, attributing it to overloaded servers and machines failing to communicate properly. The company is applying fixes, including increasing server capacity and repairing affected machines. Users in more than 74 countries are impacted, including city governments and the UK's National Health Service, which warns some patients may face delays in getting prescriptions during the outage.
