On the afternoon of June 12, 2025 (Eastern Time), access disruptions swept across thousands of platforms worldwide—including major services like Google, Cloudflare, Twitch, Discord, Spotify, Claude, OpenAI, and Microsoft 365.
The root cause of the outage was a global-level disruption within Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Since services like Cloudflare rely on GCP infrastructure, they too experienced cascading failures.
Given the extensive number of websites and services that depend on Cloudflare for content delivery and security, the interruption had a ripple effect. As a result, platforms that utilized Cloudflare were also affected. DownDetector, a site used to report service disruptions, recorded over 12,000 outage reports within a short span.
According to Google’s GCP status page, the issue began at 10:51 AM Pacific Time on June 12. By 3:30 PM, most services had begun to recover, though isolated disruptions persisted—albeit with minor impact.
Statistics indicate that GCP’s global network of data centers suffered simultaneous failures, including facilities in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.
As of 09:18 AM UTC+8 on June 13, GCP’s Singapore and Belgium data centers had yet to be fully restored. This may still impact some users across Southeast Asia and Europe, although many affected services appear to be rerouting traffic to mitigate the disruptions.
Google has not yet released an incident report, but an outage of this scale and global consequence will undoubtedly warrant a comprehensive post-mortem. For now, the precise cause behind such a widespread failure remains unknown.
