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.
