Watch Desk posted an update
Microsoft platforms, including Outlook, suffered an outage on Thursday, the Washington Examiner reports. The paper says reports peaked at nearly 130,000 shortly before 1.30pm, citing Downdetector.
Why it mattersIssues were reported on both Outlook’s mobile and website versions. That gives users a sense of the reported scale, though the article does not say when service was restored.
Discuss: For a widely used service like Outlook, should Microsoft publish outage updates before third-party trackers show the scale of the problem?
