Microsoft Restores Services After Global Outlook and Teams Outage

Microsoft has begun restoring services after a widespread global outage impacted millions of users attempting to access its 365 suite of software, including Outlook and Teams. The company acknowledged that a portion of its infrastructure experienced "elevated load" across multiple regions, leading to significant disruption for over five hours.

The outage, which began on Thursday, left many users unable to send or receive emails and access other critical Microsoft services. While Microsoft stated it was "aggressively pursuing all pathways to reduce impact" and attributed the problem to a server issue, it also indicated there was "no indication of a cyber attack." The recovery process is now underway, with the company working to bring all affected users back online.
