Microsoft, and Its Customers, Are Suffering a Global Cloud Outage

Ashley Belanger, Ars Technica:

A global outage taking down a wide range of Microsoft 365 services remains ongoing Friday morning.

The outage started midday Thursday, impacting users of Microsoft email, cloud, and AI services. Microsoft has documented the full list of services impacted by the error, while moving early Friday morning to protect customers around the world from losing emails during the extended disruptions.

“Recovery actions are ongoing,” the Microsoft 365 Status account confirmed on X. “To help preserve delayed mail during this event, we’ve extended email timeout to 48 hours.”

So it’s more like Microsoft 363 at this point.
