To quash speculation of a cyberattack or BGP hijack incident causing the recent 1.1.1.1 Resolver service outage, Cloudflare explains in a post mortem that the incident was caused by an internal misconfiguration.

The outage occurred on July 14 and impacted most users of the service all over the world, rendering internet services unavailable in many cases.

“The root cause was an internal configuration error and not the result of an attack or a BGP hijack,” Cloudflare says in the announcement.
