Starting at 11PM EST yesterday, users of Microsoft Outlook found that they couldn’t access or send emails through neither the application nor the website. This was confirmed by Microsoft via Twitter:
If you follow that thread, you’ll see that Microsoft has kept users up to date with their recovery efforts, a change to their infrastructure might have caused this. Though we are seeing things start to get better at present. Microsoft doesn’t detail what exactly has changed, but the timing of the outage is not good for the company as there was another recent outage where a change caused a lot of Microsoft’s services to take a dive. I believe a lot of hard questions will be asked of Microsoft because of that.
For the latest on this, the Microsoft Service Status page will have the latest details. And I for one look forward to reading the root cause analysis that Microsoft will be posting to see what went wrong this time.
