The scenario

What happens

Your website or online service is overwhelmed by traffic and goes down. Customers and members of the public can no longer log in, place orders or submit requests. The first questions and complaints soon start appearing on social media. It is not yet clear how long the disruption will last. People want to know whether it’s their own fault, whether something has been hacked and what they should do now. By providing clear and timely explanations, you can prevent anxiety and keep people informed until the service is up and running again.
