The Microsoft 365 global outage has entered its second day: Outlook, Teams, Copilot and other services have suffered widespread disruptions since November 12. Downdetector recorded a peak of more than 130,000 reports of Outlook issues, affecting 74 countries and regions. Microsoft said a large number of servers failed automated health checks, causing an imbalance in workload distribution. The recovery has progressed more slowly than expected, and some servers that had partially recovered went offline again under real-world traffic. The company said it had found no signs of a cyberattack and was gradually restoring services, but had not yet provided a timeline for full recovery. Organizations including Australia's Department of Home Affairs were also affected. (Sources: Reuters, Forbes, ABC; November 13)
