Microsoft recognised some of the issues on its social networks and server status page, and indicated that it was searching for the cause of the problem.

Problem found – and Microsoft working to fix it

Microsoft now says that it has “isolated the problem to a networking configuration issue, and we are analyzing the best mitigation strategy to address it without causing additional impact.”
The same update also makes clear how widespread it is. “Impact is occurring to the following services but is not limited to them: -Microsoft Teams -Exchange Online -Outlook -SharePoint Online -OneDrive for Business -Microsoft Graph -PowerBi - Microsoft 365 Admin Center”
Microsoft may have found source of problem

The latest from Microsoft is that has “identified a potential networking issue and are reviewing telemetry to determine the next troubleshooting steps”.
That update comes from the Microsoft 365 account. Though the issue is widespread, Microsoft tends to track and communicate outages from the accounts devoted to individual products.
But it is probably safe to assume the cause of the problem is the same across different products, since they all started at the same time.
