Symantec customers, or rather Broadcom customers these days, were taken offline for a while on Wednesday when the security service's data centers around the planet went down.

The Web Security Service platform, acquired when Broadcom hoovered much of Symantec's operations last year, sells web-based site and file scanning for businesses.

Broadcom reported on its status page that WSS facilities across all regions went down for about two hours between 1542 UTC and 1742 today.

"We have confirmed that all data centers have been restored and customers should no longer be impacted," Broadcom told punters.

The Register pinged Broadcom for details on just what went wrong, and will update should we hear back.
