Akamai, which operates one of the world's largest and most crucial content delivery networks, reported a problem with its service at about 12:10 p.m. ET. Many partners, including Britain's National Health Service, specifically cited that disruption as a cause of the outage.
At 12:47 p.m. ET, Akamai tweeted that it had implemented a fix and that systems were returning to normal. The company later confirmed that the outage was not the result of a cyberattack - but rather, a bad software update that disrupted the DNS system, which directs users to websites.
"We apologize for the inconvenience that resulted. We are reviewing our software update process to prevent future disruptions," the company tweeted.
