Microsoft 365 Outage Runs Into Second Day as Fixes Fail to Hold; Company Sees No Sign of Cyberattack

Microsoft's outage, which began shortly after 1 p.m. ET Thursday, Nov. 12, was still disrupting Outlook, Teams and Copilot early Friday, Nov. 13, and the company says its first recovery attempts did not work as expected. Microsoft executive Charles Lamanna says there is no indication of malicious or cyber activity. Governments from Japan to Australia to the UK's health service have been caught in the disruption, and the root cause has not been disclosed.

Nvidia Dropped Singapore From Its Revenue Breakdown After a $10.2 Billion Quarter, Months After Blocking Megaspeed

Nvidia stopped reporting Singapore as its own revenue line in its report for the quarter ended October 2025, after Singapore had grown to 22% of sales. The change landed months after the company put Megaspeed, a Singapore cloud customer now under U.S. investigation, on an internal block list. Nvidia has not said whether the two are connected, and CEO Jensen Huang stepped down Thursday, Nov. 12.

Attackers Exploited Check Point Gateways to Gain Root and Deploy an ESXi Wiper, Company Says

Check Point says an unidentified attacker chained PHP2Shell flaws with a Gaia OS privilege escalation bug, planted a backdoor, and wiped a VMware ESXi host in a first wave against Israeli organizations starting Oct. 30. A broader wave on Nov. 2 hit organizations in several countries with no destruction found. Who is behind it remains unsettled, and Check Point itself says the evidence does not support a confident call.

Wyden and Neal Open Probe Into Trump's 25% Tariff on Nvidia H200 China Sales, Tell Commerce to Preserve Records

Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Richard Neal, the top Democrats on the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means committees, sent Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick a letter Thursday, Nov. 12. It calls the 25% tariff-and-license structure for Nvidia's H200 chips an unconstitutional export tax and demands records be preserved. They are in the minority and cannot compel anything until they take the gavels in January.

Six-City European Study Finds Home Wood-Burning May Expose Children to Cancer-Linked PAH Pollution Similar to Traffic Exhaust

Researchers measuring air in homes, schools and sports centres in six European cities say children's exposure to wood-burning pollution could be as significant as exposure to traffic exhaust. Colchester and Athens, where wood heating is common, exceeded WHO guideline levels for PAHs, though no city passed the unacceptable lifetime cancer risk limit. The UK towns with the most wood burners were not measured.

The stock rose more than 17% in extended trading Thursday after falling 47.2% from its May IPO price.

Rep. Foster says Nvidia privately told him chip tracking is feasible. Nvidia has not commented

Illinois Democrat Bill Foster says Nvidia representatives privately told him the anti-smuggling tracking in the Chip Security Act could be built, while the industry's trade group called it "potentially infeasible." Nvidia has not confirmed his account. Congress is weighing three chip-security bills for the Senate's defense bill, and Foster plans a stricter licensing proposal next year.

Displaced Somali Families Outside Mogadishu Go Hungry as U.S. Aid Shrinks, PBS Reports

A PBS NewsHour report aired Nov. 12 shows displaced families outside Mogadishu surviving on handouts after fleeing conflict, drought and flooding. The Trump administration began sharply cutting foreign aid last year, and millions of Somalis relied on humanitarian assistance much of which the U.S. previously funded. A second report from the series is still to come.

Nebius Plans $40 Billion to $45 Billion in 2027 Spending as Microsoft Capacity Slips to Q2

Nebius told investors it will spend $40 billion to $45 billion in 2027, funded largely by customer prepayments, while pushing nearly half of its Microsoft capacity in New Jersey into the second quarter of 2027. Its shares fell sharply Thursday in a broad AI selloff. The plan only works if data centers get built on time, and Microsoft holds termination rights if they don't.

NATO Medical Chief and EU Health Authority Say Hospitals Are a War Frontline as Brussels Urges 72-Hour Household Kits

Norway's Brig. Gen. Petter Iversen, who chairs NATO's military medical chiefs, and HERA deputy head Laurent Muschel say Europe's hospitals must be ready for mass casualties, chemical, biological and radiological attacks, and AI-enabled bioweapons. The European Commission has separately told households to be able to survive 72 hours without help, but the guidelines are not legally binding. Money has flowed to armies; the hospital and household side of preparedness still rests largely on voluntary action.

Four Senators Demand Iran War Funding Ban in December Stopgap While Murray, Coons Resist a Shutdown Fight

Democratic Sens. Bennet, Duckworth and Van Hollen and independent Bernie Sanders said Thursday, Nov. 12, that any stopgap bill must bar spending on the Iran war.

The Postal Service says its Board of Governors approved turning April's temporary 8% shipping surcharge into a permanent one and adding 3 points, for 11%, starting Jan. 17, 2027. The filing came two days after USPS reported a $6.5 billion annual loss and asked Congress for $2 billion. The Postal Regulatory Commission still has to review the plan, and USPS will revisit the surcharge in July 2027.

Doctors Without Borders Says Congo Ebola Outbreak Remains Out of Control at Six Months; Barrick Furloughs Kibali Staff

Since the Bundibugyo outbreak was detected in mid-May, Congo has recorded 11,114 confirmed cases and 5,433 deaths, and Doctors Without Borders now says the response is failing on basics like pay, fuel and surveillance. On Thursday, Nov. 12, Barrick began furloughing non-essential workers at its Kibali gold mine after two Ebola deaths nearby. Whether those deaths trace to the mine's workforce is still unconfirmed.

Ex-NATO Chief Rasmussen Urges British and French Troops Into Ukraine Before Any Ceasefire

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says Europe must send troops to Ukraine now rather than wait for a peace deal.

Iran's Assembly of Experts Calls NPT Exit and Doctrine Review an 'Unavoidable Necessity'

Eight months into the war, Iran's top clerical body said Thursday that reviewing NPT membership and the country's defense doctrine is an 'unavoidable necessity' and a 'national demand.' The statement stops short of ordering withdrawal and leaves the decision to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, while Iran's Foreign Ministry says Tehran is still committed to the treaty.

Chicago Fed's Goolsbee Warns Oil, Tariff and Demand Shocks May Not Fade as October Prices Rise 0.4%

The October Consumer Price Index showed prices up 0.4% on the month, with food and energy leading the way as the Iran war drags on. Chicago Fed official Austan Goolsbee says shocks from oil, tariffs and demand were supposed to fade and have not, and a Democratic midterm win last week has been widely read as a verdict on the economy. Whether any of it proves temporary is the open question.

Poland Says Pentagon Approved Permanent U.S. Base; White House Decision Due in Early December

Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a "green light" to a permanent U.S. base in Poland. The Pentagon's own account of the Nov. 10 meeting never mentions a base. President Trump's decision is expected in early December, and Warsaw has offered roughly $4 billion to build it.

Wisconsin's agriculture department confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza in a backyard poultry flock in Rusk County on Thursday.
