Massive Google Cloud outage disrupts popular internet services

On June 12, 2025, a massive Google Cloud outage disrupted popular websites and apps including Spotify, Discord, Cloudflare, and others, affecting users globally.
The outage began around 11 a.m. PT and was caused by a third-party vendor failure, with no evidence of an attack or security breach.
Services impacted included multiple Google Cloud products such as API Gateway, Speech-to-Text, and Vertex AI Search, while Cloudflare faced intermittent failures with partial service recovery.
At its peak, over 40,000 reports were logged on DownDetector, and Google engineers confirmed most issues were resolved by 3:41 p.m. ET except in us-central1, with ongoing recovery efforts.
The outage highlights risks to the interconnected internet and reliance on cloud providers, prompting engineering teams to continue working on full restoration and urging users to monitor status dashboards.
