Michal Marek Apple's Internet services were hit by a major outage yesterday. The App Store and Mac App Store as well as iTunes Connect and TestFlight, i.e. services used by developers, were shut down for several hours. Regular users were also significantly affected by the iCloud outage.
Service outages were reported to varying degrees worldwide, for several hours at a time. At the same time, it appeared on users' devices with all kinds of messages about the impossibility of logging in, the unavailability of the service, or the absence of a specific item in the store. Apple later responded to the outage service availability page and described that iCloud login and email from Apple were out for about 4 hours. Later, the company admitted to a wider outage including the iTunes Store with all its components.
In the next few hours, an Apple spokesperson commented on the outage for the American station CNBC and attributed the situation to a large-scale internal DNS error. “I apologize to all our customers for their iTunes issues today. The cause was a large-scale DNS error within Apple. We are working to get all services up and running again as soon as possible and we thank everyone for their patience," he said.
After a few hours, all of Apple's internet services are back up and running, and users are no longer reporting problems. It should therefore be possible to log in to iCloud from yesterday without any problems, and all the company's virtual stores should also be in full operation.
What an outage, but when I looked at their website, what was the state of the service, they pretended that everything was OK!
That would upgrade the NSA tools??
Hmmm, so it was an outage maybe somewhere in the US. I didn't notice anything like that :D
