A Microsoft outage entered its second day, affecting Outlook, Teams, 365 and Copilot. Monitoring sites showed users in 74 countries hit for over eight hours. Microsoft said a cyberattack did not cause it. It said servers became unavailable and strained other systems. It added that its fixes were not working as expected. Schools, government services and bankers were disrupted in Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.
Why it matters: Millions of workers rely on Microsoft 365 for email and meetings, so a long outage stops business across many countries.
