Hi,

Our provider Cloudflare is experiencing a global outage. This will largely not affect you if you are on campus on the Griffith network.

Current Status from Cloudflare

Since the outage was detected Cloudflare have posted an update that some services are starting to recover.

What is Cloudflare?

Cloudflare is a service that helps websites load faster and stay online, even when lots of people visit at once. It also acts like a security guard for websites, blocking bad traffic and protecting them from attacks.
 

How does it affect us?

If you are not on the Griffith network you will have intermittent access to our websites, such as

  • Moodle

  • Attend

  • myGriffith

  • Library

  • Printing

The following sites will have intermittent access on the Griffith network as well.

  • Themis
  • Innocence Project

We will update you when we have an update from Cloudflare. 

Regards,

IT Services
