On February 27, the Telegram messenger in Russia experienced a major outage that lasted for over an hour. Problems with the application were also recorded in other countries.
Circumstances of the incident
Users began complaining about interruptions in Telegram's operation at around 12:40 Moscow time. By 14:00 Moscow time, there were more than 10.7 thousand reports of cambodia whatsapp number database problems on the Sboy.rf service.
The Center for Monitoring and Control of the Public Communications Network, subordinate to Roskomnadzor (CMU SSOP), confirmed the existence of problems.
The outages were recorded not only in Russia, but also in the US and European countries. At the same time, as TASS correspondents were convinced, Telegram remained accessible in most European countries, as well as in Australia, Asian and African countries.
By 14:00 Moscow time, Telegram's service in Russia had been restored.
Possible reasons
The Central Monitoring Center of the Security Service of the Russian Federation reported that, according to preliminary assessments, the failure could have been caused by a problem with the operation of the service’s internal infrastructure.
The Ministry of Digital Development reported that together with Roskomnadzor they are "working to establish the cause of the incident." As the ministry emphasized, the networks of Russian telecom operators are operating normally.
The Coordination Center for .RU/.РФ domains told TASS that they have no information about the causes of the failures. According to them, "the domain infrastructure is currently functioning normally."
Similar cases
This is not the first large-scale failure in Telegram since the beginning of February - on February 18, users filed more than 10 thousand complaints about problems with access to the messenger. At that time, Roskomnadzor specialists explained the incident by problems in the "internal infrastructure of the service."
On January 30, a major failure occurred in the .RU domain zone, which made many sites and applications in Russia unavailable. It was caused by a technical problem in the global infrastructure of the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), the Coordination Center for .RU/РФ domains reported.
Russian users also reported problems with other services and telecom operators.
