Yesterday it was Google App Engine that went down and today it’s Authorize.net that has gone down. The provider of payment gateway service has been down for more than 8 hours (almost). And those 8 hours means that thousands of sites are also affected, bringing a loss worth millions. We aren’t sure what has caused the issue but some threads state that it’s due to a fire in its Seattle datacenter causing the error. The site is up and running but some sites still remain affected and the team is trying its best to restore full access.
