GoKawiilMicrosoft Outlook hit by widespread outage affecting over 100,000 users
Microsoft Outlook experienced a widespread service disruption that began roughly an hour before reports surfaced. Downdetector logged more than one hundred thousand outage reports from users unable to access the email service. Microsoft's own status page for checking Outlook's service health also appeared to be affected.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Outlook is widely used for business and personal email, so an outage of this scale could disrupt communications and workflows for large numbers of organizations and individuals. The apparent failure of Microsoft's status-checking tool alongside the main service may also make it harder for users to know when normal service has resumed.
- Microsoft Outlook suffered a widespread outage reported about an hour after it began.
- Downdetector recorded over 100,000 outage reports tied to the disruption.
- Microsoft's status page for checking Outlook's health appeared to be impacted as well.
