Today, a major disruption occurred in the global infrastructure of Cloudflare, affecting a significant number of online services worldwide — including certain servers and platforms operated by EMD Infotech.

As Cloudflare handles nearly 20% of global internet traffic, today’s event created widespread connectivity issues across several major platforms and services. Our team monitored the situation from the very first moment and implemented mitigation actions to minimize the impact on our clients.

What Happened

Cloudflare experienced a serious internal failure caused by a sudden surge of abnormal traffic or a previously unknown latent bug in their systems.

During the outage:

• Many websites and applications globally became slow or unreachable.

• Major platforms such as X (Twitter), ChatGPT and others were also affected.

This was not the result of a cyberattack but a technical malfunction according to Cloudflare’s official communications.

How It Affected EMD Infotech Services

During the disruption, we observed that several of our servers and platforms experienced:

• Increased error rates

• Temporary access interruptions

• Slower response times in API-based systems

These included websites, internal platforms, and cloud-integrated services used by our customers.

Our technical team acted immediately to monitor performance, confirm system stability, and ensure service continuity.

Actions Taken by the EMD Technical Team

To safeguard the stability of our platforms, we proceeded with:

✔ Full infrastructure diagnostics

Ensuring no residual issues persisted after Cloudflare restored normal operations.

✔ Reinforced real-time monitoring

Tracking every fluctuation in server performance to proactively address irregularities.

✔ Activation of backup communication channels

Ensuring clients could reach us without interruption.

✔ Verification of all mission-critical systems

Including authentication services, APIs, and data-intensive applications.

Our team remains vigilant in monitoring all systems over the next hours to ensure complete stability.

What You Need to Know

• The incident was not malicious — Cloudflare confirmed it was a technical error.

• Most services worldwide have already recovered, but you may still notice minor delays until global networks fully stabilize.

• If your business platform experienced issues today, please contact the EMD support team so we can investigate case-specific details.

We are committed to:
