“Some people may have experienced difficulties logging in to some services. All services have been fully restored,” says a Microsoft spokesperson.
DownDetector.com has logged almost 200 reports thus far confirming the outage. The Microsoft Office 365 service health dashboard acknowledged the problems and said that Microsoft is looking into it.
It was the second Microsoft outage in March, after services went out for an hour in a similar fashion.
