Some users may be unable to access Outlook on the web

Resolved - Microsoft has confirmed that the issue affecting access to Outlook on the web has been fully resolved. The problem was caused by a recent configuration change that introduced a code regression, impacting users routed through the affected infrastructure. Microsoft has reverted the change and verified the fix through service telemetry and customer confirmation.

The incident began at 12:51 PM EDT and was resolved at 2:55 PM EDT.

Microsoft is assessing their monitoring and detection processes to prevent similar issues in the future.

If you continue to experience any issues, please reach out. Thank you for your patience while Microsoft worked to restore service.
Mar 20, 09:00 EDT

Identified - Microsoft has identified an issue causing some users to be unable to access Outlook on the web, receiving a "Something went wrong" error message.

According to Microsoft, they have identified a portion of code that is causing the issue and are working to revert a recent change while analyzing data to determine any further steps.

We will continue to monitor Microsoft's updates and provide further information as it becomes available.

Thank you for your patience.

Some links in email messages are not working

Resolved - The issue affecting links within email messages has been fully resolved. Email links are now functioning normally, and no further impact is expected.

Thank you for your patience while we worked with our vendor to address this issue. If you experience any further problems, please reach out.
Mar 19, 14:50 EDT

Monitoring - Update: The issue affecting links within email messages appears to be resolved. Proofpoint has implemented a fix, and email links should now function normally.

We are continuing to monitor the situation to ensure stability. If you experience any lingering issues, please let us know.

Thank you for your patience as we worked with our vendor to resolve this issue.
Mar 19, 09:23 EDT

Investigating - We are currently experiencing an issue affecting links within email messages. Normally, when you click a link in an email, our email security system redirects it through an external security provider (URLDefense) to ensure the link is safe and free of spam or malware. However, the external provider is experiencing an outage, causing these email links to take a very long time to work, display an error message, or fail.

We are actively working with our security provider to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience as we work with our vendor to address this issue.
