Internet Outage: On June 12, 2025, at noon, something suddenly happened in the internet world, which troubled millions of users around the world. Yes, on this day there was an outage on the internet that shook big platforms like Spotify, Discord, Twitch and Fubo. At the same time, behind this big outage, netizens claim that this is the result of a major cyber attack. However, Google, Amazon or Cloudflare have not yet issued any official statement in this regard.
Has a cyber attack really happened?
So far no tech company has clarified whether the outage was due to a cyber attack or not, but there were constant complaints of downtime from users on websites like Downdetector. Especially about Spotify, the most reports came at 3 pm Eastern Time, where users said that the app suddenly stopped working. But after some time many users also told that now the app has started working again.
Google Cloud admitted that there is a system related issue
The update that came from Google Cloud said that users of America and other countries have been affected in their system. Google’s team took immediate action and engineers identified the issue and started the process of resolving it. However, they also clarified that no timeline can be given as to when the service will be completely fixed.
Updating on the status page of Google Cloud, it was written that we have found out the real reason for the problem and now the right action has been taken on it. This means that now the service is slowly recovering.
Grok AI also gave information
When a user questioned Grok AI on this whole issue on X (earlier Twitter), its answer also pointed towards something similar. According to him, this internet outage started on June 12 at around 2 pm and the glitch in the authentication system of Google Cloud can be the major reason for this. It affected many services simultaneously.
Grok AI said that at present both Google and Cloudflare are investigating this incident and some services are slowly getting fixed, but the whole situation is not clear yet.
Was this just a technical glitch or a big attack?
Although no confirmed cyber attack has been confirmed yet, but the way many big cloud platforms like AWS, GCP and Cloudflare have been affected simultaneously, people are asking whether this was just a coincidence or a cyber related trick?
This entire incident has once again proved that in today’s digital world when everything is based on the cloud, even a small glitch can have a big impact. It is expected that in the coming hours the companies will take complete control of the situation and users will get a smooth experience again.
