Subject: Major newspaper and government websites down
Written By: Philip Eno on 06/08/21 at 5:39 am
A number of leading media websites are currently not working, including the Guardian, Financial Times, Independent and the New York Times.
The UK government website - gov.uk - is also down.
Affected websites displayed the message: "Error 503 Service Unavailable".
Early reports have suggested it could be related to Fastly, a cloud computing provider, which underpins a lot of major websites.

It's a bit refreshing not having to get our newspapers delivered anymore, we've been watching more TV, listening to the radio more often and playing with our smartphones.

A major internet blackout that hit many high-profile websites on Tuesday has been blamed on a software bug.
