Microsoft Outage Stops Email
On 12 November, Microsoft email stopped working. Teams stopped too. Teams is for online meetings. This happened in many countries. More than 430 million people use these programs. This outage lasted almost one day.
Microsoft says it was a computer mistake. It was not an attack. In the UK, police asked people to call them. One pharmacy needed papers from a hospital. Someone drove to the hospital to get them.
Microsoft said sorry. One police team joked about its email working again. Maybe some workers liked a day without email. But one boss says we depend on big tech companies.
