Internet Shannagains to Start the day!

Sometimes you never know how your day is going to go until you have that first cup of coffee. I then decided it was time to get on the computer to see what was happening and was greeted with an error!

It became apparent that there was something happening on the Internet! Little did I know how large scale this issue was going to be. We soon found out that even our station websites were not available, may other websites and other social media sites were impacted.

A system called Cloudflare was having issues. This system protects many of the websites we use daily. The outage was felt worldwide! I soon realized how dependent we are many of the websites we use daily and how dependent we are on the systems that protect them. You know it is a bad day when you cannot get to Downdetector! As I am writing this it appears the issues are being resolved and we can resume or normal internet activities! What a rollercoaster of a morning.
