PayPal has failed. The problem is related to the GraphQL API, on which a number of the company's services work. According to the company's announcement, such services as withdrawals, express ordering, cryptocurrency operations, a number of Venmo and Xoom services were affected.
The incident started around 11:00. Users could not send or receive funds, and information about bank accounts and cards also disappeared, writes The Register.
Numerous messages about service interruptions appeared from users in X.
PayPal noted that merchants have seen an increase in HTTP 500 errors for REST API calls, but did not provide details on the cause of the failure.
He later reported that the problem had been resolved, and the service seemed to have returned to normal operation.
While the issue has been resolved, it's still not entirely clear what caused the Braintree GraphQL API to crash, whether it was a cyber attack or perhaps not enough people monitoring the stack.
