Japan is investigating an Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) Amazon Web Services outage that disrupted major online brokerages, a leading mobile phone carrier, and the country's biggest airline, Reuters reports.
The outage, at least the third for Amazon since June, hit ANA Holdings Inc (OTC:ALNPY). ANA's flights got delayed after ticketing and check-in system issues. However, it sorted the problem later on.
Amazon stated that the "loss of several core networking devices" led to the six-hour disruption in the Tokyo region and had "been resolved." SBI Securities and Rakuten Securities were among the affected online brokerages.
A system glitch disrupted Mizuho Bank and Mizuho Financial Group Inc's (NYSE:MFG) internet services.
Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp's (OTC:NPPXF) (OTC:NTTYY) mobile phone arm NTT Docomo said some of its services were also hit.
Price Action: AMZN shares closed lower by 0.46% at $3,463.12 on Thursday.
