File this under "Misery Loves Company." Microsoft’s global outage may be worse than Amazon’s or CrowdStrike’s, expert says
A global outage taking down a wide range of Microsoft 365 services remains ongoing Friday morning.
The outage started midday Thursday, impacting users of Microsoft email, cloud, and AI services. Microsoft has documented the full list of services impacted by the error, while moving early Friday morning to protect customers around the world from losing emails during the extended disruptions.
OK, so it isn't exactly a Friday the 13th issue, but I'm sure Triskaidekaphobia was a topic of discussion at Microsoft on Friday.
So how happy are we that a few big companies have vacuumed up most of the internet.
Similar to recent world-shaking outages of widely used tech like Amazon Web Services and CrowdStrike, the Microsoft disruption looks like “one of the biggest outages of all time,” Ciaran Martin, the former head of the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre, told NBC News. Possibly even “worse,” he suggested.
Technology is wonderful when it works.
