'One of the biggest outages ever': Disruption to Microsoft services enters second day
A major outage affecting Microsoft services including Outlook, Teams and Copilot continued for a second day on Friday, causing global disruption as the tech giant struggled to resolve server problems.
The widespread disruption has impacted users across multiple continents, with no immediate resolution in sight. France 24's tech correspondent Peter O'Brien described the incident as one of the "biggest ever" outages given its scale and prolonged duration.
Microsoft attributed the problems to server issues but provided limited details about the root cause or when services might be fully restored. The outage has affected both individual users and businesses that rely on these productivity tools.
The incident highlights the growing dependency on cloud services and the potential consequences when major tech providers experience technical failures. Microsoft has not yet announced compensation plans for affected customers.
