Proton’s Privacy Parade Hits a Pothole: Global Outage Sparks User Frustration
Proton’s worldwide outage was like a surprise party no one wanted—triggered by a software change and ongoing infrastructure migration. Users faced error messages across Proton Mail, Calendar, and more. The tech hiccup was handled within two hours, but not before giving everyone a crash course in patience.
Hot Take:
Ah, Proton! When your quest for privacy meets a software hiccup, you end up with a global game of ‘Will it Load?’ Let’s just say this wasn’t the kind of migration anyone was hoping for—especially not your emails or calendars!
Key Points:
- Proton experienced a worldwide outage due to a software change and infrastructure migration.
- The outage began around 10:00 AM ET and primarily affected Proton Mail and Calendar.
- A load spike overloaded Proton’s servers, limiting new user connections.
- The incident lasted approximately two hours before all services were back online.
- An ongoing transition to Kubernetes complicated load management during the outage.
