A major outage is affecting Microsoft's “365.” More than 9 hours after the outage began, as of 11:30 a.m. on the 13th, users in many parts of the world remained unable to send email.
The outage has affected multiple regions, including Japan, and is said to have disrupted several services, primarily email. An outage was also confirmed in the government's information-system infrastructure, reportedly affecting the operations of government agencies.
A full recovery has still not been reported, and companies and organisations are reportedly considering alternative measures to ensure business continuity.
