Yahoo, the internet mailing system, shut down about 2:30 pm on Thursday.
A bold message indicating the system shutdown on a desktop computer screen reads: “YAHOO! Will be right back… Thanks for your patience. Our engineers are working to resolve the issue.”
This is coming a few weeks after the internet company announced that the emails of about a billion of its users were hacked back in 2013.
On Monday, reports said that the parent company, Yahoo Incorporated, would be renamed Altaba after a deal for its sale to Verizon Communications was closed. But the company has said it will not be renamed.

The shutout lasted only a few hours, as checks by TheCable at 6pm revealed that the mailing system had become active again.
