Breaking: iCloud outage affects Apple users worldwide
- Replies 32
In a world where we rely heavily on technology, a sudden disruption can cause a ripple effect of inconvenience and frustration.
This was the case on Wednesday morning when Apple's iCloud Mail crashed, causing a global outage that left many users unable to send, receive, or access their emails.
Apple, the tech giant known for its sleek and innovative technology, confirmed the outage at 6:31 am.
'Users may be unable to send, receive or access mail,' the company stated in a notice.
The issue was reportedly resolved by 8:38 am, but not before causing a wave of frustration among its users.
But it wasn't just the iCloud Mail that was affected.
Apple also reported issues with iCloud Web Apps, which impacted some users.
The outage sparked a flurry of complaints on social media platforms, with users expressing their irritation and concern.
'iCloud is down, and I'm expecting an important email. This is so irritating,' one user lamented.
Another pointed out: 'iCloud services are currently down, marking the third outage in just four days. Users are reporting issues with iCloud Mail and the iCloud website.'
For those unfamiliar with the term, iCloud is Apple's cloud storage and cloud computing service.
Launched in 2011, it allows users to store data such as documents, photos, and music on remote servers for download to iOS, macOS, or Windows devices.
It also enables users to share and send data to other users and manage their Apple devices if lost or stolen through Find My.
From personal to professional use, iCloud plays a crucial role in storing and securing data.
An outage not only disrupts communication but also raises concerns about data security.
In similar news, scammers are taking advantage of the outage anger by targeting Optus customers with a new phishing scam.
The recent nationwide Optus outage left millions of Aussies without phone and internet service for over 13 hours.
With widespread disruptions to triple zero emergency services, small businesses, and more, demand for compensation from the telco giant is rapidly growing.
However, authorities have warned all Optus users to beware of a text message claiming to offer compensation for the disruption.
