Google saw a spike in issues early Monday morning, according to Downdetector. Around 90% of the problems were related to login issues while 9% were search issues.
The big tech company’s search engine was still operational for some people, the NYT reported. Companies that utilize Google were unable to send emails or get to documents on Google servers.
Google confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation that a cyber attack wasn’t responsible for the outages, but “an internal issue with quota accounting for the authentication system.”
