PETALING JAYA: A lithium battery explosion at a Singapore data centre on the morning of Sept 10 caused a fire, resulting in “network access anomalies” for Alibaba Cloud and disrupting services it hosts, including those in Malaysia.
W.Media, a tech publisher on cloud and data centres, reported that the disruption affected Lazada and Bytedance. It claimed that internal teams and sellers using these platforms experienced various issues.
