Outage Details

One of our internal services, responsible for verifications, has experienced a failure. As a result, some users may encounter delayed verifications. Verification processes amay experience significant delays, which may affect user onboarding, transaction approvals, or other verification-dependent workflows. The service downtime may lead to extended waiting periods for end-users or automated processes requiring verification. The engineering team is actively investigating the root cause of the service failure. Temporary workarounds are being explored to reduce user impact while the service is being restored.

We confirm the problem has been fully mitigated as of now.

An unprecedented burst of traffic hit our systems in a very short timeframe, causing an extreme spike in load and leading to the issue.
