Cloudflare-Linked Outage Disrupts Major Websites and Apps

Users report errors across popular platforms, with the cause not yet confirmed.

Overview

  • Reports cite problems across services such as Zoom, Canva and LinkedIn, with additional impacts on Discord, Notion, X, Spotify, GitHub and Stack Overflow.
  • E-commerce platforms including Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair and H&M, along with news outlets like Politico, Axios and the BBC, are among those affected.
  • DownDetector, the site that tracks outages, is itself experiencing issues during the disruption.
  • Cloudflare supports nearly two in ten websites, magnifying the reach of any service interruption.
  • A late-November incident prompted an apology from CEO Matthew Prince, who said that outage stemmed from a crash in anti-DDoS systems and was not the result of a cyberattack.
