From about Jul 17, 21:37 UTC- 22:37 UTC there was a major attack on the backbone infrastructure of Cloudflare.

Affected were among others:
hiveonboard.com, commentcoin.net,slushpool.com, DISCORD, Spotify and other websites and applications that use Cloudflare as a security solution.

Data Centers impacted include: SJC, DFW, SEA, LAX, ORD, IAD, EWR, ATL, LHR, AMS, FRA, CDG
Edit: Cloudflare has fixed the errors from this attack:
