Cloud Flyer, an internet service that is thought’ to be running websites and running itself, was down on Sunday, along with dozens of other websites and online services. Took away
Hulu, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Feedly,
Discard, and many other services reported connectivity issues Sunday morning. Cloud
flyer said the issue was with a "transit provider" with a third
party, and its service was getting stronger by the day.
"Today we saw a massive outlet on the
Internet that affected a number of providers," said John Graham Cumming, Cloud
Flyer CTO. "Cloud Flyer’s automated systems detected the problem and
revolved around it, but to the extent of the problem, manual intervention was
also required."
Graham Cumming claimed that Internet
service provider Centurylink (CTL) was responsible for the corruption, which
took the cloud flyer and many of its users with it.
Centurylink, formerly known as Level 3,
confirmed that there was an I Pout that affected the content delivery network
(CDN), and that at 11 a.m. ET all services have been restored’ to. The
telecommunications company said it was unable to comment on certain subscribers
because of information about its proprietary network.
Down Detector, which reports of Internet
and service outages, reported reports of Internet connectivity in the United
States and Europe on Sunday morning.
Services such as Cloudflyer are designed’
to prevent the distribution of service attacks, which send malicious traffic to
the website to take large computer networks offline. Services help keep sites
running smoothly when traffic increases during shopping seasons or when a site
hosts a viral video.
