Users Report Nationwide Outlook Outage

(Undated)  —  Microsoft says it’s seeing some “positive results” as it works to restore service to many of its users, following global outages affecting Microsoft 365 and Outlook.  Will Guyatt reports the impact has been widespread.

 The problems were first reported at about 1 p.m. Eastern time yesterday.  Microsoft says “unexpectedly unavailable” servers strained remaining infrastructure, triggering outages.  It acknowledges that an attempt to fix the problem did not work as expected, but says there is no evidence of malicious activity.
