Chaos online as massive Cloudflare outage cripples half the internet
"Cloudflare has been hit by a massive outage that has knocked dozens of major websites offline. The company provides web security, speed, and routing services for millions of sites, so when Cloudflare goes down, anything that relies on it cannot load, a failure that ripples across a huge portion of the internet. Issues hit Cloudflare around 6:48am ET on Tuesday. Downdetector, which tracks online outages, shows the Cloudflare glitch has affected X, Spotify, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Uber, Grindr and many others."
"Cloudflare has acknowledged the outage, saying: 'Cloudflare is experiencing an internal service degradation. 'Some services may be intermittently impacted. We are focused on restoring service. We will update as we are able to remediate. More updates to follow shortly.' Cloudflare has identified the problem, noting a fix is being implemented. 'We are continuing to work towards restoring other services,' the company shared at 8:13am ET. This is a developing story... More updates to come."
