Resolution seems in sight on Saturday following confirmation by tech giant Microsoft on Friday that services had fully recovered across Teams, Outlook, Copilot and other applications, ending a global outage that crippled online communications across businesses and governments for over 24 hours. The US homeland security chief confirmed there was 'no Microsoft link' to the US air stoppage.

Microsoft said its consumer products services had fully recovered as of 4.10pm (GMT) on Friday, while it was seeing some sustained recovery for its Microsoft 365 enterprise services after a global outage that crippled online communications across businesses and governments for over 24 hours.
The technology giant said it was "monitoring the backlog of email messages accrued during this event" before considering the issue with the enterprise services resolved.
"Due to the severity of impact this incident caused, we're monitoring for an extended period to ensure no additional mitigative actions are required," Microsoft said in an update on its service status page.
