Microsoft outage was not part of ‘coordinated campaign,’ says cybersecurity agency

Many users temporarily lost access to Microsoft email Monday afternoon.

(ABC News) – The Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) says a widespread Microsoft email outage Monday was not part of a “broader coordinated campaign” — but they’re still keeping an eye out for possible malicious activity.

Microsoft reported that a number of users in North America lost access Monday afternoon to its “Microsoft 365” services, including Outlook mail, Microsoft Teams and Teams Live Events, as well as Office.com services.

The company said late Monday night that the incident had been resolved and that “any users still experiencing impact should be mitigated shortly.”
