Microsoft Outage Scams Target US Users

Scammers exploit the Microsoft 365 outage by sending fake refund emails and impersonating support to steal credentials. The disruption began Thursday, November 12, with nearly 130,000 reports. Microsoft confirms recovery progress as of Friday, November 13, but warns users to ignore unsolicited refund offers and fake verification links. Personal users are not entitled to automatic cash refunds for the incident.
