What has been affected?

Multiple banks, the UK's Government Gateway services - which is accessed through the Gov.uk website and includes things like HMRC, universal credit and pensions - mobile phone networks and video-chatting platform Zoom are among the websites reportedly having technical issues.

A UK government spokesperson said: "We are aware of an incident affecting Amazon Web Services, and several online services which rely on their infrastructure.

"Through our established incident response arrangements, we are in contact with the company, who are working to restore services as quickly as possible."

A Lloyds Bank spokesperson also apologised for issues affecting customers, adding: "We are seeing services coming back online and continue to work to see that happens as quickly as possible."

All Amazon products - including Prime Video, Alexa and Amazon Music - have also been affected, as well as the main Amazon website.
