According to the Downdetector online system for monitoring the availability of websites and applications, the peak of user requests occurred at 03:00 Moscow time. At that time, the service recorded about 12.5 thousand requests. Around 07:25 Moscow time, the number of complaints from users decreased to 254. The most frequently reported problems were with the VKontakte resource (72%), problems with authorization in the social network’s mobile application (12%), and problems with interaction with the personal account (4%).
It is noted that the largest number of requests for failures in the work of VKontakte services came from Novosibirsk (9%) and the Moscow region (7%), but in general, problems were observed throughout the country. At the moment, it is unknown what exactly caused the failures in the work of VKontakte.
Earlier this week, a major failure was recorded in the Yandex Music, Yandex Go, and Yandex Pro services. At the time, Roskomnadzor attributed the problem to equipment failures in Yandex’s internal infrastructure.
