Microsoft has announced that its services are starting to come back online after a significant global outage that lasted nearly 18 hours. This disruption affected millions of users, including businesses, schools, and government agencies across at least 74 countries, including the United States. Major services such as Outlook, Teams, and Copilot were among those impacted.
The company clarified that the outage was not the result of a cyberattack. Instead, it was caused by overwhelmed servers that struggled to establish secure connections and process user requests. As services gradually resume, users can expect to regain access to their accounts and tools.
