Mailchimp’s 15 hour outage

Posted by iwgcr

Mailchimp.com, one of the best known email marketing services has been hit by an apparent outage after the main website page was taken offline or appeared inaccessible.

This is by far the biggest interruption to the Mailchimp service in recent memory, however the company is not alone in facing tech issues. Services such as Netflix, and most recently, Bluehost, have all taken a hit from a variety of problems including DDoS attacks (Denial of Service), Datacenter problems and even, fuel outages in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Whatever the reason for this outage, Mailchimp has yet to specify what is causing the issue. We will bring you more on this as it develops.
