Are you trying to log in to somenational and international websites , but to no avail? There’s a reason: Cloudflare, a US multinational web infrastructure and cybersecurity company, is facing some technical problems, making it impossible to use various platforms normally.
According to the news shared in various media, although it is difficult to quantify the total number of pages affected, it is certain that there are some ‘illustrious acquaintances’, namely: ChatGPT, Later, Letterboxd, League of Legends, among many others.
According to the newspaper “Eco”, several Portuguese media outlets were also affected, including Eco itself , Lusa, Observador and Diário de Notícias.
This situation and the constraints caused have already prompted complaints from users. In other words, on social networks Cloudflare is being ‘shaken’ by comments from individuals from all over the world, such as France, Singapore and New Zealand, among other countries.
What’s happening at Cloudflare?
A statement from the US multinational, quoted by Público, reads as follows:
Cloudflare is aware of and investigating the issue that may affect several customers,” in a statement made at 11:48.
Shortly afterwards, the company mentioned that some services are returning to normal, although there may still be more errors than usual.
In another statement, the technology company led by Matthew Price explains that the technical problems are appearing in the form of widespread error codes. What does this mean? In all, it seems that at least “500 widespread errors” have been identified, including failures in the Cloudflare dashboard and the API (Application Programming Interface).
Importance of Cloudflare
This is one of the most important companies globally, as it protects websites from cyberattacks, among other services. Just to give you an idea, it handles 81 million HTTP requests per second on average.
Cloudflare is currently investigating the matter and adopting mitigation measures. And we at Secret Harbor are literally waiting for everything to be resolved.
