Workplace messaging app Slack hit with outage on first Monday of 2021
Slack Technologies Inc said its workplace messaging
service was hit by an outage on Monday, disrupting remote work as people
returned from the holidays.
The company said it was investigating the connection issues
affecting users and would continue to share updates every 30 minutes until the
incident has been downgraded.
More than 15,000 users had initially reported issues, as per
outage tracking website Downdectector. Currently over 4,000 users are still
facing issues.
Downdetector only tracks outages by collating status reports from
a series of sources, including user-submitted errors on its platform. The
outage might be affecting a larger number of users.
As companies around
the world shift to working from home due to the Covid-19 pandemic, demand for
services provided by Slack and Microsoft Corp's Teams has gained traction as
offices conduct meetings remotely.
The messaging app has added more than 20,000 paid customers in the
last two quarters, bringing its total number of paid customers to over 142,000.
