Microsoft Services Mostly Fixed After 24-Hour Outage
Microsoft said most email and Teams services were back online after a worldwide outage disrupted access for about 24 hours.
- On Friday, Microsoft services began recovering globally nearly 24 hours after a network capacity upgrade triggered widespread disruptions affecting more than 70 countries and over 430 million users.
- Engineers attributed the disruption to a "network capacity upgrade" rather than cyber or artificial intelligence activity. The issue first surfaced Thursday evening, leaving users unable to access Exchange Online globally.
- Impacts ranged from delayed legislative work in the U.S. House of Representatives to stalled home purchases in England. South African winemaker Peter Pentz said his business reached a "standstill," noting his winery "relies on these systems for parts of our day-to-day operations."
- A Microsoft spokesperson said the company is "deeply sorry" for the disruption. While services showed "encouraging recovery signals" by Friday afternoon, the company has no specific timeline for full restoration.
- Experts called the event a "stark reminder" of global reliance on a few big tech providers. Matt Saunders, field chief technology officer at Adaptavist, warned organizations must develop contingency plans for working without such tools when incidents occur.
