Fastly stock soars after ‘nightmare’ outage takes down thousands of sites
NY Post
Shares of cloud-computing company Fastly are up more than 12 percent since the company’s high-profile glitch took down many of the world’s most popular websites yesterday morning.
For about an hour on Tuesday, many internet users were unable to access Google, Reddit, Twitter, Spotify and thousands of other sites due to an outage at Fastly. Websites for the New York Times, CNN and the BBC were also down. Fastly, which blamed Tuesday’s outage on a software bug that was triggered when a customer changed settings, did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
