Microsoft massive service outage cause still unclear, no evidence of malicious activity
Microsoft is gradually recovering from a massive service outage that lasted about a day, TechCrunch reported on Nov. 13. The outage began on Nov. 12, initially affecting services in the United States and the Americas before spreading globally. It started with Outlook email and Teams videoconferencing and then expanded to other services, leaving users unable to access Microsoft 365, OneDrive and more. Microsoft said there was no evidence of malicious activity and blamed an incorrect network upgrade, not AI.
