A massive internet outage left multiple websites, including Amazon, Reddit and the New York Times, temporarily offline Tuesday morning, after services from U.S.-based cloud company Fastly went down.
Fastly, one of the world’s most widely-used cloud-based content delivery network providers, said, “a fix was applied at 10:36 UTC. Customers may continue to experience decreased cache hit ratio and increased origin load as global services return.”

The company said in an emailed statement that it was a “technical issue” and “not related to a cyber attack.”
Several of the websites that had been down, such as Reddit, Paypal, Spotify, the BBC and the New York Times, are up and running again.
