Tens of thousands knocked offline after software failure at Musk’s Starlink
Summary
Starlink suffered a major global outage when an internal software failure disrupted service for tens of thousands of users in the US and Europe. SpaceX said key internal software services that run the core network failed, and the company worked to restore service within about 2.5 hours. Elon Musk and Starlink engineering leaders apologized and said they would investigate the root cause. The incident briefly raised concerns about whether the disruption came from a bad update or a cyberattack, and it highlighted Starlink’s dependence on complex network software.
