Web infrastructure provider Cloudflare experienced a global disruption that caused widespread “Error 500” messages and took down major platforms including X and ChatGPT. The outage, triggered by a sudden spike in unusual network traffic, impacted thousands of websites early Tuesday and highlighted the fragility of internet architecture—over 20 percent of global web traffic flows through Cloudflare. The firm is actively investigating the root cause and working to restore full service while underscoring the need for greater resilience in digital infrastructure. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown featuring Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke.
