Major Google crash. The problem occurred about an hour ago. The global search engine came back for a while and crashed again.
Experts believe that this is due to a global server problem.
The search engine is not working, but also services such as Gmail, Google Drive.
Many users are experiencing difficulties with Internet access.
The largest site monitoring the availability of Internet sites "Downdetector" (Downdetector.com) also reports on the current situation with the products of the American company Alphabet. "User signals indicate problems with Google", writes "Downdetector".
The crash occurred this morning, Eastern Time and late evening in the States.
This case is not isolated. It reminds us of previous incidents with Google (e.g. the cloud services outage on June 12, 2025, which lasted about 2 and a half hours and affected over 50 services). There is no officially announced cause yet. Possible causes include a problem with the cloud infrastructure or a software update error, as has happened before.
A message from Google says that they are working on the problem and that the search engine has already been restored in many places. The problem was global, but concentrated in Europe/Middle East for 1-2 hours. Possible cause of the outage - GCP or backend issue.
Wait for details....
