  • Japan is investigating an Amazon.com Inc AMZN Amazon Web Services outage that disrupted major online brokerages, a leading mobile phone carrier, and the country's biggest airline, Reuters reports.
  • The outage, at least the third for Amazon since June, hit ANA Holdings Inc ALNPY. ANA's flights got delayed after ticketing and check-in system issues. However, it sorted the problem later on.
  • Amazon stated that the "loss of several core networking devices" led to the six-hour disruption in the Tokyo region and had "been resolved." SBI Securities and Rakuten Securities were among the affected online brokerages.
  • A system glitch disrupted Mizuho Bank and Mizuho Financial Group Inc's MFG internet services.
  • Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp's NPPXF NTTYY mobile phone arm NTT Docomo said some of its services were also hit.
  • Price Action: AMZN shares closed lower by 0.46% at $3,463.12 on Thursday.
