A fire at a Samsung facility in South Korea on Sunday resulted in a temporary outage that shut down its website and caused the company’s Smart TV products to report error messages. The fire broke out at a facility of Samsung SDS, a subsidiary of Samsung Group and a provider of software services, outsourcing and consulting. In a statement, Samsung Electronics said it detected a “brief service disruption” that lasted for four and a half hours, before the service was restored at about 7:30 p.m. local time. Samsung did not provide more information. During the outage, the Samsung.com website was down, along with the company’s Smart Hub service, a media content portal used by its Smart TVs. Users took to Twitter to complain.
