Is Yahoo down? Email, other services not working amid massive outage

Various services of Yahoo are down from about 12:00 pm IST and the company has assured that they are working to fix it.

Yahoo email and other services have reportedly crashed on Thursday and thousands of users are taking to social media to complain. Yahoo itself confirmed the issue and said they are working to get it fixed as a top priority.

"Is Yahoo down?" many people are asking on Twitter and are losing their minds as email outage means a lot of connected services would also not work.

Some people are also reporting unique issues amidst "Yahoo down" outrage and connecting it to "cyber attacks".

Yahoo is down right now in many parts of the world and for a huge number of customers but the company has assured that they are working to fix it. Yahoo doesn't usually face such outages and this is probably the biggest disruption that the web services provider has faced in 2019.

UPDATE: Yahoo has said that most of its services are now back online.

Most services are back online. This is a technical issue that affected our services. We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we get everything back up and running.
