Microsoft ‘deeply sorry’ for global outage after almost 24 hours of disruption
According to BBC, Microsoft announced that its services have been fully restored after a worldwide outage affected tools such as Outlook, Teams, and Copilot. The outage hit more than 70 countries, disrupting everything from business operations to government services and personal users, affecting over 430 million people worldwide. Microsoft apologised for the technical issue, which it said was introduced during a network capacity upgrade and was not caused by a cyber-attack or an artificial intelligence agent. Experts said the event was a stark reminder of how heavily the world relies on a small group of big tech providers.
