Microsoft releases a fix for the Y2K22 bug that affected Microsoft Exchange servers

Microsoft has stated that it is aware of an issue that is causing Exchange servers to go down throughout the world. Microsoft’s Filtering Management Service is unable to accommodate the new date format.

Microsoft Exchange had a rocky start to the New Year, as the popular email service was hit by a Y2K22 bug, which prevented users from accessing their inbox. People initially thought it was their connection, but eventually realized it was the service all along, and Microsoft quickly responded with a fix.

The Verge reported that there were complaints about the service, and it pushed people to question its use, especially as it showed no mails in the app. It is a massive corporate mess to see Microsoft Exchange lose its email functions and reflect no messages in the inbox.
