For an uncomfortable stretch on Thursday, a self-inflicted outage wiped out popular websites and services, including Google's own.

Alphabet’s Google said today it had resolved a brief global service disruption on its platforms that affected multiple services such as music streamer Spotify and instant messaging provider Discord.

The Cloudflare status page says that a "broad" outage is impacting variety of services, which follows the trend of user reports sent to DownDectector. The San Francisco-based company said it was looking into the outage at 1:19 p.m. Central Time with updates stating the investigation into the authentication failures continues.
