Yahoo outage hits email users
Yahoo services went down for several hours yesterday, drawing ire from thousands of its email users who were given no idea how long the outage would last. Downdetector, a website that provides information on online outages, had received more than 5,000 reports of problems related to Yahoo Mail by 2 am ET. Some 300 users also reported problems with other Yahoo services, according to Downdetector. According to one Twitter user, Yahoo had been down for “well over 3 hours” in Australia. Most of the complaints originated in Europe. Yahoo’s customer service webpage — help.yahoo.com — also went down for a time, displaying the message, “Thank you for your patience. Our engineers are working quickly to resolve the issue.”
