KUCHING, Nov 19: Bursa Malaysia Bhd has returned to normal operations following a global Cloudflare outage that temporarily disrupted access to the exchange and affected several Malaysian online platforms.
In a TVS news, the exchange said the disruption originated from an internal service failure at Cloudflare, which impacted websites across multiple countries and briefly made Bursa Malaysia’s platform inaccessible.
In an update posted on its X account at 11.34 pm on Nov 18, Bursa Malaysia confirmed that connectivity had stabilised.
“The Cloudflare issue has been resolved, and services have been fully restored. Our services are now operating as usual. We appreciate everyone’s patience throughout this disruption,” it said.
During the outage, several local websites, including news portals, experienced intermittent downtime while Cloudflare worked to restore its global content delivery network.
Cloudflare is an international Internet infrastructure and cybersecurity provider supporting millions of websites and digital services worldwide.
According to BBC, Cloudflare said the “significant outage” occurred after a configuration file intended to manage threat traffic did not work as intended and “triggered a crash” in its software handling broader services.
“We apologise to our customers and the Internet in general for letting you down today,” the company said in a statement. — DayakDaily
