Recurrent Issue?
This is the second time the company would be experiencing an outage in less than two weeks.
The corporation, which had a similar outage last week in several parts of the world, did not say what caused the problem. The firm’s chief technical officer, John Graham-Cumming, claimed on a Hacker News thread that the outage didn’t touch “a lot of places,” but it did affect “a lot of places.”
According to DownDetector, a crowdsourced web monitoring program that analyzes outages, users reportedly had trouble using Coinbase, Shopify, and League of Legends.
