Microsoft cloud outage passes 26 hours, engineer calls it a historic event on par with Heartbleed
esrtweet · x · 2026-11-14
Microsoft's cloud outage has now lasted more than 26 hours. While some users report restored service, Microsoft's official cloud status page still shows O365 degradation and unavailability. The author frames it as a historic event comparable to the Morris worm and Heartbleed, jokes about naming it the "Friday the 13th" outage, and cites Axel Reitschin's analysis, which stops short of calling the post-collapse Microsoft cloud unfixable but gives unbiased observers reasons to think so. He urges corporations paralyzed by the outage to start planning for a serious scenario.
