Microsoft has announced that its services, including Outlook and Teams, have returned to full operation following a global outage that lasted over 24 hours. The disruption, which affected governments and organizations worldwide, was caused by an internal configuration update rather than hostile activity, as reported by the BBC and the Jerusalem Post. During the incident, users in countries such as Japan, Australia, and the United States experienced widespread service failures. While consumer products were fully restored, Microsoft noted that certain business services underwent a gradual recovery process until reaching full stability. Further details have not yet been released.
