ALL Google services globally went dark on the morning of 14th of December 2020. That's Gmail, Youtube, Drive, Hangouts and Search ceased to function with users unable to log into accounts. All this whilst a pandemic had forced many millions of workers to work form home. The outage started at 11.50am GMT and continued for over an hour before users could once more log in and start to work.

This global outage brought home the extent to which we have all become reliant on Google services which through accident or design could reek havoc across the globe, especially giving the ongoing US / China brewing conflicts that undoubtedly will spill over into cyber space.
