Microsoft-owned LinkedIn is reportedly down for thousands of users worldwide. Tracking website DownDetector started noting reports of problems after 11:35 pm. Users are getting errors when trying to log in, which is causing frustration.
According to Downdetector, 82 per cent of LinkedIn users are having issues with the website, 17 per cent are facing problems with the app, and just 1 per cent are reporting issues with their profiles. This shows that most of the disruptions are happening on the website and app, with only a small number of users affected by profile issues.
As of now, Downdetector has registered over 1,100 complaints on its website, as users continue to face issues with the Microsoft-owned professional platform. LinkedIn has not yet released an official statement about what caused the outage or when it will be fixed.
“Woke up to LinkedIn this morning to a message on the log in screen: ‘You have reached the maximum number of attempts. Please try again at a later date.’ and I am unable to log in,” a user wrote on Downdetector.
