Anyone visiting websites such as Discord, Shopify, Peloton and JustEat were met with a โ€˜500 Internal Server errorโ€™ message.

Cloudflare acknowledged the problem and worked to put a solution in place.

โ€˜The Cloudflare team is aware of the current service issues and is working to resolve as quickly as possible. Updates can be followed here,โ€™ it stated on its official Twitter account.

Jake Moore,ย Global Cybersecurity Advisor at ESET Internet Security told the Metro: โ€˜There seems to be a problem with Cloudflare and a fix is being implemented but in the meantime users may be frustrated with the amount of services offline.

โ€œIt just goes to show how the majority of the internet still funnels through a small series of lines which puts major pressure on these platforms which are designed to offer protection and reliability.

โ€œWhen problems occur, havoc can erupt in cyberspace. Unfortunately, these are becoming more commonplace.โ€
