Almost all iCloud services down for some users including Photos, Mail, Backup, Find My Friends

So during this week almost all major companies went down at least for a while. What's going on?

 

I don't know the answer to your question but many people I know n the UK have had various kinds of connection problems in the last week or two (including myself) with connections to Internet turning on and off (Intermittency). It does feel that there is something going on, behind the scenes. This is not based on access to large data, just a feeling.

 

I believe some of these problems were caused by Cloudflare, but I'm not sure. But it sure is worrying, I hope it's not related to (insider) hacking.
