"But an executive later apologised for the massive glitch and the time it took to solve, admitting it was 'unacceptable'. Dane Knecht, Cloudflare's chief technology officer, said: 'The sites, businesses, and organisations that rely on Cloudflare depend on us being available and I apologise for the impact that we caused.' He blamed the system crash on 'a routine configuration change', saying it 'cascaded into a broad degradation to our network and other services'."
"Cloudflare runs a huge network of servers spread across more than 330 cities in over 120 countries. These servers help websites load faster, stay secure and handle traffic smoothly. Its system is extremely powerful, handling massive amounts of data and connecting to more than 13,000 internet networks, including the biggest internet providers, cloud services, and major companies around the world."
X experienced multiple outages this week, with thousands of users affected globally. The most severe incident occurred on November 18, when a Cloudflare disruption knocked X and other sites, including ChatGPT, offline for about three hours. Cloudflare identified a spike in unusual internet traffic and later apologised, calling the outage 'unacceptable'. Cloudflare's CTO Dane Knecht attributed the incident to a routine configuration change that cascaded into broad network degradation and denied evidence of a cyber attack. Cloudflare operates a vast global network across more than 330 cities and connects to over 13,000 internet networks, serving major providers and cloud services.
