According to the South China Morning Post, employees at banks including Goldman Sachs and Nomura experienced disruptions, with some staff forced to work offline.\n\nThe Economic Times Tech reported that nearly 130,000 users on the outage tracker Downdetector reported issues accessing the software just after 1 pm. While reports had fallen from that peak, many users indicated they had trouble loading inboxes or were unable to send and receive emails.",
