Multiple Bermuda-based websites and e-mail addresses have been out of order today.

Businesses and organisations using the .bm domain have been affected: as of 10.30am websites including lindos.bm, gorham.bm, masters.bm, biu.bm, bhs.bm and rayclan.bm were down.

It is understood the issue arose because many domains expired last night.

More details to follow.
