By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): A widespread Microsoft outage disrupted email and other services for businesses on Thursday, and Belize was not spared.
Among those affected was one of Belize’s best known resorts on Ambergris Caye, which notified guests that it was having problems with its email because of the Outlook outage. The resort said responses may be delayed and asked anyone with an urgent matter to call directly.
Other businesses in Belize that rely on Microsoft’s services also reported issues.
According to WIRED, Microsoft’s 365 business and enterprise services suffered a major outage on Thursday that kept users from accessing their accounts. The company first reported problems with Microsoft Teams in North America in the morning, then confirmed that users across the Americas were having trouble reaching their Exchange Online mailboxes. Microsoft later said its network was under elevated load across multiple regions.
Microsoft said servers were failing automated health checks and going offline. The company paused all deployments, shifted traffic across its global network and began restarting the affected servers.
Services that may have been affected include Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Copilot 365 and Microsoft Defender XDR.
WIRED reported there was no indication the outage was caused by a cyberattack.
