Cloudflare Outage Disrupts Dozens of Major Sites Worldwide

The company traced the fault to record changes made to mitigate a React vulnerability, saying systems were returning online.

Overview

  • Platforms affected included Canva, Shopify, LinkedIn, Amazon Web Services, Coinbase, League of Legends, Claude and Fortnite, according to outage trackers.
  • Cloudflare reported increased error rates for customers running Workers scripts as it analyzed and mitigated the incident.
  • Chief technology officer Dane Knecht said it was not an attack, attributing the disruption to disabling some records tied to this week's React CVE, with sites expected to recover.
  • Impact was uneven across regions, with issues reported in India, Turkey, Brazil and Portugal, while Spain and most EU countries remained largely operational.
  • Downdetector logged hundreds to thousands of reports, including roughly 660 in Spain and more than 1,870 in the United States by late morning local time, and some monitoring pages were also affected.
