XHit by Third Outage This Week as Thousands Lose Access

Downdetector showed thousands of reports in the US and UK with no confirmed cause.

Overview

  • Problem reports spiked around 10:17 a.m. ET (3:17 p.m. GMT), indicating a fresh disruption days after earlier incidents.
  • Downdetector logged roughly 8,300 reports in the US and more than 4,000 in the UK, with some coverage citing over 15,000 globally.
  • Both the mobile app and website were affected; some desktop users could post but feeds failed to display.
  • Users encountered errors such as “Something went wrong. Try reloading,” and messages that posts could not be retrieved.
  • Some service began to return for portions of the user base, X had not issued an update, and no Cloudflare spike was observed despite that provider’s separate outage the day before.
