Anyone else having trouble with Outlook or Teams?
Microsoft seems to be having a bit of a nightmare. The problems started yesterday, 12 November, and have carried on into this morning, with Outlook, Teams and Copilot among the services affected.
My first thought was that they'd been hacked or someone was having a go at them, but the BBC says there's no indication of a cyberattack. Apparently a load of servers became unavailable, leaving the others trying to pick up the slack. So not a sudden flood of traffic, even if that's what ‘overloaded servers’ might make you think.
SecurityWeek has covered it too. They report Microsoft has been rolling back a recent network change, but that isn't the same as having a confirmed cause yet.
Not ideal if you're waiting for leads, customer emails or a reply from your AM. Although I'm sure a few people aren't too upset about missing another Teams meeting
Has it affected anyone here?
