Paul Spain: Tech commentator explains the latest Microsoft outage - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Microsoft is investigating the scope of the damage after users reported issues with Microsoft 365 and Outlook services this morning.

Monitoring website Down Detector's had thousands of outage reports - with a number of organisations affected.

Tech commentator Paul Spain says it was largely New Zealand that was impacted by this recent outage.

"This one wasn't so much of a global issue - it was very focused on New Zealand."

Update: Microsoft has since released a statement saying this outage was unrelated to the July 30 outage that was blamed on cyberattacks. It is still investigating the cause to the latest outage.
