Today, Tuesday, social communication platforms, government websites and news sites around the world have been hit by failures, and some news reports of a technical malfunction at the American cloud computing service company Vastley.
Dotcom, which monitors Internet failures, listed sites with high visitation rates, including Reddit, Amazon, CNN, PayPal, Spotify and the New York Times, among those that experienced problems, although many of them began to return to service.
With his tweet attached is an email address for queries. The Attorney-General of the United Kingdom wrote on Twitter that the main website of the British government has been disrupted.
"We spotted the problem and it's being fixed," said Vastley, one of the most widely used content distribution companies in the world.
The company's website showed that most of its coverage areas had experienced a "deterioration in performance" earlier.
Nearly, 000 users of Reddit social media said they had problems, while more than 2,000 users reported problems at Amazon, according to 21 Advisor.
The Danish television site Channel 2 announced that it was having communication problems today.
British Independent said Amazon, the British Government and Reddit had a sudden malfunction around the world.
The holidays also included news sites, such as CNN America, the Financial Times, the New York Times, Bloomberg and the Guardian.
It should be noted that when entering these sites, the visitor is surprised by the message "Eror 503 Service Unavailable."
For its part, the Associated Press reported that "the disruption of the news site service resulted from the disruption of a cloud computing company."
About 30 minutes after the pause, the sites returned to operation almost normally, while US cloud computing company Fastley revealed that it was "working to address the glitch in global sites."
