Hours-long outage:
A Microsoft outage that began over 12 hours ago has left millions around the world without access to Outlook email, Teams meeting tools and other staples of modern office life. Banks, governments and courts in multiple countries are affected.

No quick fix:
Microsoft said it had “observed marginal success” in solving the problem. The outage was not caused by a cybersecurity breach, the tech giant said.

Global disruption:
Outage reports “reached 74 countries and territories in about an hour,” according to Downdetector. In the US, city governments across the country reported widespread email disruptions. In the finance hub of Hong Kong, bankers at Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs told CNN their work had been disrupted.
