A global outage affecting Cloudflare has left several high-profile websites, including X and OpenAI, inaccessible to users worldwide. The issue began at around 6:00 AM ET, with reports flooding in on DownDetector, a service that tracks website outages. Cloudflare, a critical infrastructure provider, has acknowledged the problem and is working to resolve it. The company's status page, however, appears to be malfunctioning, making it difficult to get accurate information. As a result, users are seeing generic warnings and 'internal server error' messages when trying to access impacted websites. This includes OpenAI's ChatGPT, which is blocked due to issues with Cloudflare's network. X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, has also been affected, with users taking to the site to report the issue. 'Did X just go down or is that just me?!,' one user asked, while another wrote, 'X went down, can you see this tweet ???' Cloudflare has promised to provide more details as more information becomes available. The company's support site provider has also been experiencing issues, making it difficult for users to get help. The outage has impacted several major websites, including President Donald Trump's Truth Social platform, which is hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure. The full extent of the outage is still unclear, but it's likely to affect many more websites as the issue continues to unfold.
