US EditionYahoo and AOL Outage Resolved, Companies Say
Over 16,000 reports of server overload errors disrupted access to Yahoo Mail, homepage, finance tools, and AOL, as the companies investigate the cause of the global outage.
- Yahoo and AOL experienced a widespread outage Wednesday morning, with thousands worldwide reporting issues accessing Yahoo Mail, the homepage, finance tools, and AOL services.
- Many users reported Edge: Too many requests errors across Yahoo-owned services, a message Downdetector says hints at server overload while engineering and support teams continue probing.
- Downdetector's timeline revealed rapid escalation, with reports jumping from over 3,000 at 6:36 AM to more than 16,000 by 6:49 AM, rising to 15,000 for Yahoo, 8,000 for Yahoo Mail, and 4,700 for AOL by 6:58 AM.
- Small firms and freelancers faced missed deadlines and disrupted workflows, while customer support teams urged users to provide details and Yahoo's YahooCare X account posted 'Yahoo is aware that some users may be experiencing issues accessing Yahoo services and websites'.
- Past outages such as last year show these eventually resolve but cause fallout, and Yahoo's early silence amplified concerns as eyes remain on Downdetector and the @YahooCare account amid infrastructure scrutiny.
