Biggest websites across the world go down

In a massive internet outage, several popular websites including leading news portals on Tuesday went off the grid globally, including Reddit, Spotify, Twitch, GitHub, Hulu, HBO Max, CNN, the Guardian, the New York Times, the BBC, the Financial Times and more.

The technical glitch is likely to be from Fastly, a popular CDN provider.

Fastly confirmed it was facing an outage on its status website.

"Error 503 Service Unavailable," was the message that appeared on the affected websites.
