We&#8217;re investigating some potential impact to the Exchange Online Service. Further, updates on the Exchange investigation will be available in your admin center under the SI# EX502694.&#8221; Microsoft said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MSFT365Status\/status\/1618255289165168640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/microsoft\">Microsoft<\/a> went on further to attribute the outage on a change it made to its &#8220;Wide Area Network&#8221;, which had now been resolved as well as explicitly ruling out a cyber-attack as a potential cause of the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The distruption came after Microsoft announced increased muli-billion dollar investment in <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/chatgpt\">ChatGPT<\/a>&#8216;s maker OpenAI, as well as a time when Microsoft&#8217;s sales rose only 2% in the three months to December, to $52.7bn and overall profits falling by 12% to $16.4bn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not forgetting that on 19 January, Microsoft announced it would reduce its workforce by roughly 5%, thus reducing its workforce by 10,000 employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft has announced that services have recovered from a widespread outage experienced earlier today with majority of reports coming in on Downdetector mostly from India and Japan.
