A huge number of websites and games are experiencing outages today (Monday 20th October), including platforms such as Roblox and Fortnite. The source of the issues appears to stem from Amazon’s cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which hosts many of the world's platforms, including banking services.
Fortnite, Roblox, Clash Royale and various other games and gaming services have been struck down by an "operational issue" with Amazon's web services today, though Amazon themselves promise that they're already seeing "significant signs of recovery".
