That’s one hell of a big thing to fall over

 

[maomao]

Is it definitely an accident or could it be a 'cyber attack' of some kind?

If the latter it’s rather ambitious in scale...

 

[Flavour]

seems pretty massive. wonder if it's an attack. would be fucking impressive if so

It's electoral callege day and it's probably quite a high risk day for us domestic terrorism. That's my far out theory that will feel stupid and paranoid in about half an hour.

 

[Spymaster]

BBC says:

Google applications including YouTube, email and Docs are suffering a rare service outage, with users unable to access many of the company's services.
The outage started shortly before noon UK time, with Google sites returning server errors when visited.
Users around the world reported problems with Gmail, Google Drive, the Android Play Store, Maps, and more.
Google's search engine, however, remained unaffected by the problems affecting its other services.
Despite the widespread outage, Google's service dashboard initially showed no errors - before switching to red status across all services.
Many individuals and businesses rely on Google services for basic work apps such as email and calendars.
Users of Google Docs could continue to work if they had synced documents offline, but were unable to use any online features.
"We're aware of a problem with Gmail affecting a majority of users. The affected users are unable to access Gmail," a statement said, with the word "Gmail" replaced by other services.
Google has been contacted for comment, but one spokesperson said they were unable to access their email.
The cause of the outage is unclear.
However, users can still access the websites' landing pages in "incognito mode", which does not store a log of the users' browsing activity.

Google outage: YouTube, Docs and Gmail knocked offline

Users around the world were unable to access applications including YouTube, Gmail and Docs.

Ah, so it's their end. Just tried sending an email from Thunderbird.

 

[xenon]

Also, end days, Skynet is alive, etc.

 

[xenon]

Not anyone cares but I took my latest tagline from an informative helpful message displayed on a webpage the other day... Kinda sums up the year.

same

 

[MrSki]

Email up but can't access contacts.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Happening again for me this morning...anyone else?

 

[Ax^]

not atm but Gmail has always been a bit white for emails

 

[Chilli.s]

Yeah mine dropped too.

And as the panic set in I realised once again how much I rely on digital stuff that has no paper for offline use. All those emailed receipts and correspondence without a hard copy, if they disappeared the reconstructing of accounts and business would be a fuckin nightmare.

Then it came back on again so everything's aok...
