WELLINGTON COUNTY – A widespread Microsoft outage is causing email service disruptions across Wellington County, including Centre Wellington and the City of Guelph.
Microsoft says it’s continuing to work to resolve issues affecting several of its services, including Outlook email, which began Thursday afternoon.
In updates overnight, the company says server issues are preventing some systems from operating properly.
Microsoft says there is no indication the outage was caused by malicious activity, and it’s treating the situation with urgency and priority until services are fully restored.
The County of Wellington, Township of Centre Wellington and City of Guelph have all reported email disruptions.
Officials are notifying residents that responses to emails may be delayed while Microsoft works to fix the problem. Local municipalities say they’re monitoring the situation and working around the disruptions in the meantime.
