Microsoft outage disrupts Outlook, Teams and some government systems
What's new: Singapore said some state e-mail systems were hit, though Singpass and emergency lines 995 and 999 stayed online.
A major Microsoft outage disrupted Outlook, Teams, Copilot and other Microsoft 365 services for about 10 hours, affecting users across the United States, Asia-Pacific and government agencies in Singapore and Australia. Microsoft said features tied to Exchange Online and e-mail were hit, while some other services remained available. The company reported partial recovery in some regions after rerouting traffic and adjusting server protocols, but said the fixes had not delivered lasting stability. GovTech said some Singapore government systems, including e-mail, were affected, warning that replies to public inquiries could be delayed. It said Singpass was not affected and emergency services remained fully operational.
