Microsoft's attempted fixes for Outlook email service outages have failed, affecting thousands of users globally. The company is now seeking alternative solutions. The problems began Thursday around 7 p.m., with nearly 130,000 users reporting issues on Downdetector. Outages persisted into Friday morning, also impacting Microsoft products like Teams, SharePoint, and Planner. Microsoft attributes the disruptions to increased infrastructure load in several regions, not a cyberattack, according to Australia's interior minister. The Australian Federal Police is among affected users.
