Microsoft Teams, Office 365, Exchange, Outlook, SharePoint, Azure, and OneDrive users experienced a major outage last night in which they could not log into their accounts. Many of our customers’ emails refused to send, or their Windows softwares asked for a password but declined the correct login credentials.

Microsoft tweeted the following messages on September 28:

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>We&#39;ve published MO222965 to the Microsoft 365 Admin Dashboard, and will also be updating <a href=”https://t.co/AEUj8uAGXl”>https://t.co/AEUj8uAGXl</a> with updates to our investigation.</p>&mdash; Microsoft 365 Status (@MSFT365Status) <a href=”https://twitter.com/MSFT365Status/status/1310698087749283840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>September 28, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src=”https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

Microsoft discovered the solution in rerouting its traffic to an alternative infrastructure. While the outage impacted users globally, a cyberattack is not to fault. Microsoft employees told CNN that no evidence of malicious activity existed.

If your technology malfunctioned due to the outage, simply reboot your computer. No resolution is easier than that!
