Cloudflare: The large-scale outage last night was caused by an internal configuration error, not a network attack.

PANews, November 19 news, according to the analysis report of the large-scale outage event released on November 18 by Cloudflare's official blog, this outage is the most severe since 2019 and was caused by an erroneous configuration file generated after database permission adjustments, which led to anomalies in the core proxy system, affecting multiple products including CDN, security services, Workers KV, Turnstile, and Access. The team mistakenly judged it as a DDoS attack, and ultimately repaired it by rolling back to old files; all services were restored at 01:06 Beijing time on the 19th. Cloudflare stated that such outages are unacceptable and will accelerate the upgrade of system resilience.
