So this seems to be the third outage of a cloud service that takes EVERYTHING down. This is why I am not a fan of the cloud! I get the cost services that it brings, but having everything centralized like this just makes attacks so easy.

Yes, this is actually very revealing and almost seems intentional. I didn't realize how many sites use this service.
The files get released. And this happens
Yeah, I noticed this morning “The Direct” website is down.
I go there to get updates on future Sci-Fi, Superhero releases.
I go there to get updates on future Sci-Fi, Superhero releases.
Apparently, most of the sites I visit use Cloudflare.
That's wild. It's almost like AWS and Cloudflare are running nearly ~40% of all major services. Probably more than that.
Remember the CrowdStrike outage too, differing components that bring the internet to a crawl when they go down.
Yeah, we are starting to see how fragile the internet is, which is way worse than I thought.
I'm still old school and run my sites on home servers.
These outages weren’t a problem until immigrants became prominent in domestic IT roles.
Are you being serious? That’s one of those statements where it’s either serious or sarcastic.
Immigrants??!?! Where have you been for the last 30 years?!
Cloudflare outage impacts thousands, disrupts transit systems, ChatGPT, X and more
Internet infrastructure provider Cloudflare says it is investigating an issue that caused outages for social media platform X, some multiplayer games and ChatGPT.
MASTERBAKER will be posting this as BREAKING NEWS six hours from now....... with giant pictures and everything......bumping it himself at least a dozen times.....
.
Got into work morning meeting was all about the panic calls coming in, one of my Jr techs was laughing his ass off cause last month he was joking about what would happen if Cloudflare dropped and here we are. People really don't know how deep Cloudflare, Akamai and a few others are the foundation for alot of services. People didn't pay much attention to the AWS outage last month like they should have. 
Yet another outage yesterday during Cyber Monday. Good thing we boycotting this holiday buying season so we didn't have any problems right?

The web merchant Shopify, which is used by millions of online stores globally, is experiencing an unfortunately-timed Cyber Monday outage.
Thousands of stores started reporting problems with logging into their accounts at around 9.08am ET / 2.08pm GMT, and Shopify has since confirmed on its status page and X account that it has a known technical issue.
Shopify says that it's "working to resolve it", but here's everything we know about the outage so far...

Shopify is a global e-commerce platform and today's issue are hitting stores around the world. In the US, there have been almost 3,700 reports from frustrated users, while in the UK the reports have stabilized at around 1,300.
The main knock-on effect is Shopify users being unable to log into their accounts and process orders, which is particularly bad timing since it's Cyber Monday and we're running into the holiday season.
Shopify hasn't yet revealed a cause of the issue, but said on its status page at 10.26am ET / 3.26pm GMT that it was "continuing to investigate the current issue".

Shopify has confirmed on its status page that it has a log-in issue, with the incident report headed saying "some merchants encountering error messages within their admins".
Its latest post around half an hour ago at 10.26am ET / 3.26pm GMT said that "to help avoid complications, please remain logged in on any devices that are currently logged in".
That advice may have come too late for many users, but if you use Shopify it's worth remaining logged in so you're not further hit by the issues. Right now, the reports on Downdetector are unfortunately continuing to climb, with reports in the US close to the 4,000 mark.

Shopify couldn't really have picked a worse day, other than Black Friday, to have an outage.
A number of frustrated store owners (above) have taken to X to vent their feelings – as one has commented, "as a small business owner this is so bad".
Hopefully, it won't last too much longer – the Shopify status page has it logged as "degraded performance" across areas like "API and mobile" and "Point of Sale", rather than a partial or major outage. But at the time of writing, reports on Downdetector are still on the rise...

It's important to note that customers can still buy from Shopify. It's just that shop owners cannot access their stores dashboard and backend right now. As James Capell, who heads our Web Hosting division puts it, "it's reassuring to shop owners to know that their customers can still purchase".
Owain Williams, our Website builder lead adds, "this give proof that shoppers aren't impacted". James also did a test purchase just a few minutes ago. "I've also received confirmation that my order has been cancelled via email so; stores seem to be working, checkout, purchase, and cancellations are working (at least for the store I checked)."
