Akamai, which provides hosting services by DNS (Domain Name System), said it encountered problems Thursday afternoon, which may be behind the global meltdown, but maintains that this is not a cyberattack. According to the company, the issue was resolved minutes after access difficulties were reported.

The British newspaper The Independent reported that many of the affected sites are Akamai clients. The company said that despite the instability being resolved, it will continue to monitor the sites to ensure all activities are back to normal.

A message on the Akami website reads: “We are aware of an emerging issue with the Edge DNS service.” “We are actively investigating the problem.”

Users also reported difficulty accessing services from Oracle, an American technology and hardware software developer. It was reported on social media that the removals of Amazon Services, a company owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, occurred primarily in the United States.

In one post, an Internet user captures the error message that appears on the company’s page, confirming that it is an instability in Akamai. They also claim to have investigated Amazon’s web services, such as Amazon Route 53 and Amazon CloudFront, and found that they were working normally.

According to the State of The Internet, which monitors outages in websites around the world in real time, failures occur mainly in the United States and countries in Europe.
