Cloudflare has confirmed that some of its services are currently down . The company confirmed this via its official Cloudflare status page as it notes that Dashboard and other APIs are down. It writes:
"Cloudflare is investigating issues with Cloudflare Dashboard and related APIs. Customers using the Dashboard / Cloudflare APIs are impacted as requests might fail and/or errors may be displayed."
Interestingly, Downdetector is down too at the moment as it likely relies on Cloudflare"s services. Other apps and services include Fortnite, Valorant, Groww, Zerodha, LinkedIn, and more.
The company says it has implemented a fix and is monitoring. We will update the story once more details are available.
Update, December 6 2025, 12.00 GMT: Cloudflare says it has resolved the issue. The company notes that this was a result of a buggy implementation of a security patch and that it was not any large-scale DDOS attack.
On the status page it writes: "This incident has been resolved. A change made to how Cloudflare"s Web Application Firewall parses requests caused Cloudflare"s network to be unavailable for several minutes this morning. This was not an attack; the change was deployed by our team to help mitigate the industry-wide vulnerability disclosed this week in React Server Components."
