According to Benzinga reporting, platforms including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Elon Musk’s X, and even Downdetector were affected. Cloudflare says it detected a spike in “unusual traffic” around 6:20 a.m. ET and is still investigating the source. The company noted its full team is “all hands on deck” as services come back online. Cloudflare plays a critical role in managing global web traffic and defending sites against DDoS attacks, so even minor disruptions can ripple across the internet. The outage comes just weeks after Amazon Web Services suffered a daylong incident followed by a global Microsoft Azure and 365 outage. Cloudflare shares dropped more than 5% in premarket trading following the incident. Watch to learn what happened, why so many sites went offline, and what this might mean for the stability of global cloud infrastructure. 🖥️ Try Benzinga Pro FREE with a 14 day trial: https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register 📈 Take your trading to the next level with our suite of premium research services and tools: https://www.benzinga.com/services 🌐 Find more market-moving insights at https://www.benzinga.com — your one-stop destination for the latest financial news, data, and expert analysis to stay ahead of the markets. 📲 Follow us on socials @benzinga ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🔹Free Benzinga Webinars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ2jOJNkDfI&list=PL4k0fH8EgI3YTdqniRmxrvz97w3IQ61rD 🔹Benzinga Pro Tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2FaHhLIrks&list=PL4k0fH8EgI3YMwoBMFXGvVMkgixFymmei&pp=gAQB 🔹Earnings Calls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2-AoCw64Ok&list=PL4k0fH8EgI3buZI5529R53wJUNd9NS4_s 🔹Premarket Playbook: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4k0fH8EgI3ZVRPM7INpG--GvohnBVTnT 🔹Benzinga's All Access: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4k0fH8EgI3bQSn91atO-3lPT4V6Nwsmh 🔹Subscribe To The Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Benzinga ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ⚠️ Disclaimer: Investing in financial markets carries risk, and there are no guaranteed returns.
