12/10/24, 4:40 PM Downdetector® by Ookla® report highlights largest service outages in 2024, including Facebook, Crowdstrike and Microsoft
Across the United States and Canada, Facebook, CrowdStrike, and AT&T outages were most
significant, followed by interruptions in various gaming services and ISPs. Notably, when a routine
software update of Crowdstrike went awry on July 19, nearly five million user-reports on Downdetector
linked to services that use Crowdstrike or Microsoft (including emergency services, airlines, and ride-

sharing apps) were reported.

“In such scenarios, early detection, problem isolation, and user communication becomes critical for local
telecom operators and service providers. Leveraging Downdetector Explorer, operators can understand
the size and scale of incidents — and rapidly act to resolve issues that matter most to consumers,” said

Farid.
