A major Cloudflare outage caused thousands of websites and apps — including X, ChatGPT and many business platforms — to go offline worldwide.
The issue was triggered by an internal software configuration bug in Cloudflare’s bot-management system, which caused a system crash and disrupted global traffic routing.
Key Points:
- Not a cyberattack — Cloudflare confirmed it was an internal error
- Websites showed 500 Internal Server Error messages
- Cloudflare applied a fix and services gradually returned to normal
- A full post-incident review is underway to prevent future failures
Why It Matters:
Incidents like this highlight how much the internet depends on major infrastructure providers. Businesses should focus on resilience, redundancy, and regular infrastructure reviews to avoid being affected by global outages.
