Microsoft suffers new outage, says cyberattack triggered it: What we know so far

Microsoft products including email service Outlook and video game Minecraft were affected by another global outage. The company said in an update that the outage has been resolved and preliminary investigations show the outage was caused by a cyber-attack and a failure to defend against the same.

The outage lasted almost 10 hours and caused thousands of users to report issues with Microsoft services. It came less than two weeks after a major global outage that impacted around 8.5 million computers using Microsoft systems. The outage, which impacted healthcare and travel, occurred after a flawed software update by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.
