Cloudflare Outage Disrupts Banks, Telecoms and Major Platforms Worldwide as Fixes Roll Out

Cloudflare reports services are stabilizing after a fix, with some users still encountering elevated errors.

Overview

  • Cloudflare said it was investigating problems with its dashboard and related APIs after flagging an internal service impairment on its status page.
  • Banks, telecom providers and major platforms were affected, with reports citing Sparkasse, DKB, Commerzbank, PayPal, Telekom, Vodafone, O2, LinkedIn, Zoom, Microsoft 365 and Google Gemini.
  • The company stated it implemented a solution and is observing system stabilization, though error rates may remain higher for some customers during recovery.
  • Concurrent maintenance in the Chicago (ORD) and Detroit (DTW) data centers was noted, which Cloudflare said should not result in widespread outages.
  • Outage trackers including AlleStörungen and Downdetector recorded extensive reports and were at times unreachable, highlighting the scale alongside recent major cloud incidents such as AWS in October and a previous Cloudflare outage in November.
