Services from tech giant Microsoft, including Outlook and Teams, have begun a gradual restoration of operations following a day of disruptions that affected millions of users, businesses, and government agencies worldwide, according to reports by Arutz Sheva and Globes.

According to the company, the outage was caused by an internal configuration update that led to server failures. Microsoft has officially ruled out the possibility of a cyberattack. Initial attempts to resolve the issue were unsuccessful and reportedly worsened the situation, but the company's efforts over the last day have led to some stabilization. Services have not yet fully returned to normal operation. Further details regarding a timeline for full restoration have not yet been released.
