A massive internet outage has hit the US, knocking dozens of popular websites offline, including Google, Costco, and Spotify, starting around 10:30am ET.

Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 Resolver service became unavailable to the internet starting at 21:52 UTC and ending at 22:54 UTC. The majority of 1.1.1.1 users globally were affected. For many users, not being able to resolve names using the 1.1.1.1 Resolver meant that basically all Internet services were unavailable.

The incident highlights a growing issue of network vandalism in the telecommunications industry, exacerbated by rising prices for precious metals.

This morning, our lines were cut due to vandalism in Van Nuys that also affected our services in other parts of Los Angeles and Ventura.
