Some users were unable to access their mailboxes, send and receive emails, or use calendar functions. Subsequently, services such as Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and Microsoft 365 Copilot were also affected to varying degrees, and the daily work of enterprises and government agencies was temporarily hampered.


Microsoft stated through its Microsoft 365 Status account that the relevant incident numbers are EX1550543 and MO1550821.
