Microsoft 365 and Azure Experience Global Outage Due to ISP Network Issue

Thousands of users report disruptions in accessing Microsoft services, linked to a network change by AT&T.

Outages affected Microsoft 365 applications including Outlook, Teams, and Xbox Live, with over 24,000 user reports at the peak.
The issue began around 7:45 a.m. ET and was linked to a network change made by AT&T, which has since been reverted.

This outage follows a significant disruption in July caused by a faulty update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.
Microsoft is working with AT&T to monitor the situation and ensure full service restoration.
