Microsoft is moving forward little by little in repairing Outlook and its other software. Messaging, down since Thursday evening, is now partially accessible, even if access remains difficult and sending or receiving emails is jerky. This Friday morning, the American giant noted that its efforts were “not producing the expected effects”.
Around 8 a.m., the company said on X that it was working to restore services and was seeing a "partial recovery." On its site, it details “limited progress” to restore service. “At this time, we are not aware of any malicious activity causing this incident,” she added.
We continue to treat this incident with the utmost diligence until it is fully resolved. Once the situation is resolved, we will provide a detailed post-incident report, including the root cause, corrective actions implemented and other information. “The outage affects the entire architecture of Microsoft 365, also impacting Teams.
“Most essential features including calls, meetings, chats and messages are not impacted,” says Microsoft, which notes in particular problems in the calendar tab. Public bodies affected “We regret the disruption caused today for our customers and we are doing everything we can to resolve the problem,” assured Charles Lamanna, company manager on X. We will keep you informed as soon as we have new information.
At this time, I can confirm that there is no evidence to suggest that this is malicious activity or a cyber attack. " Users remain widely affected, as do public organizations. Singapore authorities said the outage affected some state systems, but clarified that emergency services were fully operational.
Deprived of electronic and voice messaging, the University of Iowa hospital network had to ask its patients to use their online portal to contact their caregivers. In France, the real impact on state organizations remains unknown for the moment.
