Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Scores of the websites and apps, including Facebook, Disney+ and Reddit were hit by a global outage overnight caused by an "operational issue" at U.S. cloud services provider Amazon Web Services.
At the peak of the incident, early Monday, AWS reported more than 70 of its own services were impacted before saying it had resolved the issue, although it warned of sluggishness as systems worked overtime to catch up.
"Some requests may be throttled while we work toward full resolution," it said, urging customers to utilize the "clear cache" option in the settings of their browser if problems with errors persisted.
The sites of Lyft, The New York Times, Snapchat, United Airlines, Delta Airlines, T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T were affected, according to complaints reported by customers. Cryptocurrency firm Coinbase also reported problems.
