Microsoft attributed a global outage of Outlook, Teams and its Copilot AI assistant to a technical issue stemming from an upgrade that followed a recent network change, Fox News reported.
Microsoft said there was no indication of malicious activity or a cyber attack, according to the report from Fox News correspondent Tanya J Powers. Problems began midday Thursday, and Down Detector logged reports from 74 countries and territories within an hour.
Microsoft said in January that it had more than 450 million paid commercial subscriptions to Microsoft 365.
“It’s not clear just how many users were affected,” Powers said.
