DownDetector, a website that monitors the state of the Internet, showed that a number of global commercial websites failed at the same time, including Twitter, CNN, Amazon.Com Inc, PayPal Holdings Inc and so on.

Many science and technology websites are paralyzed.

Previously, commercial websites such as Twitter, Amazon.Com Inc and PayPal Holdings Inc could not be opened.

In addition, the world's major media websites crashed: the websites of the Financial Times, the New York Times, Bloomberg News and the Guardian were inexplicably down; CNN and France's Le Monde also began displaying error messages on their sites at around 10:00 GMT. Al Jazeera has also been affected.

The British government website is down

Not only commercial websites, but also government websites have been attacked. According to PUNCHBOWL, Capitol Hill suppliers have been attacked by blackmail software, and there is no evidence that the broader Capitol IT system has been affected. At the same time, the BBC reported that there was also a downtime on the British government website.

IConstituent technology providers that promote nearly 60 House offices have been targeted by blackmail software attacks, so some offices on Capitol Hill have been unable to retrieve voter information for weeks, according to Punchbowl.
The chief executive of the House of Representatives told the Punchbowl that there was no evidence that the House's broader IT system had been compromised.

Some US technology stocks fell in the short term before trading, with Amazon.Com Inc down 0.25%, Netflix Inc down 0.13% and Twitter down 0.55%.
