The Dominican Republic’s Presidency has officially addressed the temporary disruptions experienced by users on various digital platforms earlier in the day, attributing the issue to a global technical incident involving Cloudflare, a leading international company that supports numerous websites and online services worldwide. The government clarified that the outages were not caused by failures within its own systems, emphasizing the robustness of its digital infrastructure. Cloudflare confirmed the incident, citing network degradation that temporarily affected platform performance and stability across the region and other parts of the globe. Despite the external outage, the Dominican government’s critical systems, including institutional websites, administrative platforms, service channels, and internal networks, remained fully operational. This resilience was credited to the State’s redundancy mechanisms, backup systems, and continuous monitoring protocols. The Directorate of Strategy and Government Communication (DIECOM) reported that its technical team has been actively monitoring the situation since the incident began, coordinating with local providers to ensure overall connectivity. Government officials reiterated that the disruptions did not originate from State platforms and reaffirmed their commitment to modernization, cybersecurity, and enhancing the country’s digital resilience to provide reliable and accessible services for all citizens.
