Cloudflare suffered an outage Tuesday that knocked major websites offline for users worldwide. Shopify, Indeed, Anthropic's Claude, Donald Trump's Truth Social, and Elon Musk's X appeared affected, according to Downdetector, which also had access issues for some users. OpenAI said ChatGPT and Sora were impacted by a third-party provider problem. Cloudflare reported a spike in unusual traffic around 6:20 a.m. ET, with the cause unknown, and said a fix was in progress by 9:22 a.m. ET. Shares fell more than 3%, as the incident followed recent outages at AWS, Microsoft Azure and 365.
