A range of websites including popular news outlets, ecommerce giants and governmental websites have come back online following an unexplained internet outage which occurred on Tuesday.
Websites operated by news outlets including The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, Financial Times, the New York Times, Bloomberg News, CNN and Al Jazeera were sent offline for about an hour.
Cybersecurity expert David Waburton says that the outages should act as a massive wakeup call that internet infrastructure has become dangerously over-centralised and lacks resilience and security.
