Microsoft is experiencing a major server outage affecting all its cloud services, including Outlook, Teams, Microsoft 365 (Business and Enterprise), Azure, OneNote, OneDrive, and Microsoft ToDo.
Microsoft says a malicious cyberattack didn’t cause the issue. A statement from the company basically says that its servers are overloaded and that some machines aren’t communicating properly. The company is employing a number of fixes, including trying to increase server capacity and fix the affected machines.
The server outage initially occurred more than 12 hours ago.
Users in more than 74 countries are affected, including city governments worldwide and service providers like the UK’s National Health Service, which says some patients may be prevented from getting their prescriptions during this period.
