Microsoft: Cloud services recovering after global outage
Following a widespread disruption affecting Microsoft services in 74 countries, the company reports a gradual stabilization of its systems.
Microsoft cloud services, including Outlook and Teams, have begun to stabilize after a major technical outage disrupted millions of users, governments, and organizations worldwide for over a day. According to reports by Forbes and CNA, the company apologized for the incident and confirmed that it was caused by a technical issue related to an internal configuration update, rather than hostile activity or a cyberattack.
The outage affected various sectors, including judicial institutions and government agencies, raising questions about the vulnerabilities of the core technologies underpinning state governance. The company states that the recovery process is underway, but further details regarding a timeline for a full return to normal operations have not yet been released.
