ROMA (ITALPRESSS) – Microsoft has completed the restoration of all its cloud services and applications of the Microsoft 365 suite (including Outlook, Teams, OneDrive and Copilot), following an extensive computer blackout lasting about 18 hours that has caused strong disservices internationally. The interruption, begun on Thursday, paralyzed email, corporate messaging and storage systems for more than 430 million users, involving businesses, government agencies, healthcare facilities and educational institutions in more than 74 countries.
In an official note spread by Microsoft’s management, the group has said “profoundly regretted” for the inconvenience suffered by customers and partners, categorically excluding the hypothesis of a cyber attack or malfunctions related to artificial intelligence systems. The cause of the problem was attributed to a configuration error of the network infrastructure emerged as a result of a recent update of server capacity. Microsoft explained that it reactivated the functionalities gradually to verify the stability of the infrastructure at each stage and avoid overloads caused by the huge amount of data in the queue, confirming the return to normal operation on all geographic regions.
