Users of Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Purview, Copilot, and Outlook were previously impacted by a significant outage. After more than twenty-four hours, the issue was fixed, and the company reported that it was “addressing lingering issues with Outlook on the web” and “investigating mail queuing delays causing longer delivery times.” Another significant outage that disrupted the Azure and Microsoft 365 services occurred back in July. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack was later attributed to it.
