Cloudflare Outage Impacts ChatGPT and X Access

A network malfunction at cybersecurity firm Cloudflare on Tuesday caused disruptions to some users of both ChatGPT and social media platform ‘X’. Cloudflare announced an ongoing investigation into the problem, which could affect multiple clients. The company’s customer support portal also encountered issues during this time, coinciding with planned maintenance in certain regions earlier that day. Furthermore, Cloudflare’s own status page became inaccessible at one point. Cloudflare’s security software is used by hundreds of thousands of businesses worldwide, and past outages have occurred.
