At 3:48 a.m. PT, the company released a statement on its system status page indicating that it was aware of the issue and has started an investigation to know what caused the outage. “Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which impacts multiple customers: Widespread 500 errors, Cloudflare Dashboard and API also failing,” the statement read. “We are working to understand the full impact and mitigate this problem.

00:00Hi, I'm Alina. I'm a producer at One India and as I informed you in the previous video that Cloudflare is down and currently as you can see on my screen, nothing is working. This is X, which is down, not working. ChatGPT, which clearly mentions that Cloudflare.com to proceed.
00:21These are other certain challenges that we are facing in downloading YouTube videos, which also clearly mentions visit Cloudflare.com for more information.
00:31So explaining what Cloudflare is, it is the main internet service that helps websites load faster and stay secure. So basically Cloudflare manages multiple websites on the internet like we saw Twitter, ChatGPT if we may say, Uber is there, Spotify is there.
00:50So all these important websites that people use in their daily work life are not working right now.
00:57So there are many speculations on the internet and there must be many questions in your mind when you saw this outrage, whether is it a cyber attack or is there a deeper issue that is there.
01:08So currently there is no information regarding the cyber attack. There is no confirmation that this particular outrage that Cloudflare is facing is because of a cyber attack.
01:19Cloudflare has itself acknowledged the issue and early reports suggest that it was caused by internal server errors or software glitches. Cloudflare was undergoing a maintenance basically. So that has led to this particular outrage. There is no reason to worry. This is not a cyber attack. And all your information on the internet, all your thoughts that you have put on ChatGPT, everything is safe right now. This is not a cyber attack.
