Global outage of Amazon, Paypal, news sites and more

June 8, 2021

Huge global outage occurred just before 11 today (GMT) affecting large amount of the internet, particularly solutions hosted by Amazon AWS. Microsoft 365 is hosted by themselves and unaffected.

We recommend avoiding any transactions or posting to cloud systems hosted on AWS from applications, until this is resolved.
