Microsoft Outlook Hit by Widespread Outage Due to Exchange Online Issues

Microsoft's Outlook email service appears to be experiencing an outage, affecting thousands of users. The issue began around 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) and is reportedly related to problems with Exchange Online, which provides business email services.

According to Downdetector, a website that tracks online outages, there are thousands of reports of the issue. Microsoft's own service status page does not indicate any issues, but its 365 X account has acknowledged the problem and is investigating.

The company has not provided a timeline for when the issue will be resolved or offered any details on what might have caused it. Users who rely on Outlook for their work email may experience disruptions until the problem is fixed.
