Pitt Digital is aware of an issue that briefly affected new authentications to some Microsoft services this afternoon for approximately 30 minutes. Individuals affected by the issue may have experienced problems with new logins to services like Microsoft 365, Outlook on the Web, and Azure-related services. Individuals who were already signed in to Microsoft services were not affected.
Pitt Digital has taken steps to resolve the issue and restore full service. We are working with our vendor partner to identify the root cause of the issue and take steps to address it. We continue to monitor affected services closely and will post any additional updates to status.pitt.edu.
