[Cloudflare Summarizes Global Internet Disruptions in Q2 2026: Natural Disasters and Government Interventions as Main Causes] Cloudflare released its review of global internet disruptions for the second quarter of 2026, identifying natural disasters, government interventions, and infrastructure failures as the primary causes. In mid-April, Super Typhoon Sinlaku caused widespread power outages in Guam and impacted network infrastructure, leading to a temporary 80% drop in local internet traffic compared to expected levels. In Iran, after a nationwide internet shutdown lasting 88 days, connectivity began to recover on May 26, with HTTP traffic briefly rebounding to 90% of pre-shutdown levels before stabilizing at around 59%. On May 5, Germany's .de domain registry DENIC generated an erroneous signature during a DNSSEC key rotation, causing global validating resolvers to reject related requests, rendering numerous .de websites temporarily inaccessible. On June 21, Saint Lucia experienced a nationwide traffic drop of approximately 60% compared to the previous week due to a fiber optic cable cut.
