Mobile ID experiencing disruptions Friday

The Mobile ID secure digital system has been experiencing disruptions Friday. The cause is not yet known.
SK Solutions, developer of Mobile ID, says the down-time started around 11.20 a.m. on Friday.
The company says it is working to solve the issue.
In the meantime, alternative authentication solutions Smart-ID and the Estonian ID card itself are not affected.
In January SK Solutions had to pay Estonian bank LHV a contractual penalty for disruptions, in respect of several outages in 2019 which exceeded the 45-minute maximum in its agreement with the bank.
A pre-announced disruption of several hours also took place in late May, due to scheduled maintenance work which also affected Smart-ID and the ID card.
Mobile ID can be used to access secure e-services and to digitally sign documents with no need for the card reader required for the ID card. Users must have a special SIM card installed on their phone, available from the cellphone provider, to use the service.
Update: Mobile ID was reportedly back up and running shortly before 2.30 p.m. Friday.
