Microsoft 365 Outage Exceeds 20 Hours as Server Load Issues Persist
A major global outage affecting Microsoft 365 services, including Outlook, Teams, and Copilot, has persisted for over 20 hours. Microsoft attributes the disruption to elevated server load and unexpected unavailability of infrastructure, not a cyberattack. While partial recovery has been reported in Europe and North America, significant delays and intermittent issues remain. The incident has impacted over 430 million users globally, affecting governments, healthcare systems, and major tech firms like OpenAI and Anthropic.
