X Restored After Outage, Reddit Still Investigating Disruption

Social media platforms X and Reddit experienced outages Thursday afternoon, impacting thousands of users across major U.S. cities.

Thousands of users reported outages on X and Reddit around 1:30 p.m. EDT on March 27, 2025, according to Down Detector.
The disruptions were concentrated in major metropolitan areas, including Houston, Dallas, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Service to X was restored by 2:20 p.m., while Reddit announced it is still investigating the cause of its outage.
Elon Musk previously claimed a March 10 outage on X was caused by a 'massive cyberattack,' though these allegations remain unverified.
Experts emphasize that attributing cyberattacks requires thorough forensic analysis, cautioning against drawing conclusions based solely on claims.
