Giacom teams are continuing to work through outstanding updates and queries and will respond as quickly as possible. Current MS status Update: We're continuing to see improvements in service availability, with email queues significantly reduced and approaching normal levels. Some users may still experience intermittent access issues or delayed email delivery as recovery continues. We've implemented additional mitigation measures and are restoring the remaining affected infrastructure while investigating residual service issues. We're closely monitoring service health and validating recovery across affected connection methods to ensure sustained service stability. At this time, we have no evidence of malicious activity associated with this incident. We will continue to treat this with urgency until full mitigation, and we will share a full Post-Incident Report with root cause and defense-in-depth actions after mitigation is complete. Scope of impact: This issue may affect users attempting to access the affected Microsoft 365 services. Nov 13, 2026 11:17 GMT identified – Giacom Update: Impact to Giacom teams remains unchanged Current MS status Update: We've made additional progress toward service recovery, with recovery actions completed across portions of the affected infrastructure in the Asia Pacific region. Traffic is being gradually restored, and we're seeing improvements in key customer scenarios, including mailbox access and delayed email processing. However, some users may continue to experience intermittent issues. Our focus is now on extending these recovery actions across affected infrastructure in other regions, while continuing stabilization efforts and adding supporting capacity to improve service consistency. Reducing email queues and backlogs remains a priority, and the extended 48-hour email timeout window remains in place to help protect delayed messages as delivery catches up. At this time, we have no evidence of malicious activity associated with this incident. We will continue to treat this with urgency until full mitigation, and we will share a full Post-Incident Report with root cause and defense-in-depth actions after mitigation is complete. Scope of impact: This issue may affect users attempting to access the affected Microsoft 365 services. Nov 13, 2026 09:09 GMT identified – We are aware of the issues many organisations are experiencing due to the Global Microsoft outage. Microsoft began reporting an issue yesterday evening affecting Outlook, Teams, Sharepoint and several other Microsoft 365 services. They have not indicated this is a security incident. Microsoft are reporting that recovery work is ongoing. Giacom are unable to send or receive emails and access some supplier services so updates may not be received on some tickets. We will continue to update the status page as updates are received from Microsoft.
