From CNET: Thursday was a tough work day for many -- or maybe, a great one, depending on how eager you are to access work-related programs. Microsoft services, including Outlook, Teams and Microsoft 365, experienced a significant outage.
Overnight heading into Friday, the company said via its Microsoft 365 Status account on X that the "impact has been resolved," an hour after a post offering a little more detail on the process: "We've restored access to the affected services and mail flow remains stable. While recovery efforts remain ongoing, we are methodically addressing the small number of remaining affected services to ensure full service stability."
As the Friday workday was starting on the East Coast, some people were replying on X that they were still seeing issues with email not working.
The outage had a widespread impact on Outlook and Microsoft 365 users across the US, as well as in Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Japan, according to the site-monitoring service Downdetector. (Disclosure: Downdetector is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)
