On Thursday afternoon, a massive list of popular internet services all started experiencing outages at the same time.
Thousands of confused internet users took to Google and social media to ask why they couldn’t log into their favorite websites and apps. The front page of Down Detector was a menagerie of spiking orange line graphs, starting around 2 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 12. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis owns both Mashable and Down Detector.)
Here’s what we know so far.
What’s causing the service outage?
At the time of writing, it’s unclear what the cause of this outage is, though both CloudFlare and Google Cloud have reported problems. Cloudflare’s status page is reporting broad service interruptions.
