Elevated latency in IAD region for connections from AWS us-east-1
A început 21 august 2025 la 19:39 UTC · 8m
IssuesIncident minor
Componente afectate
Captcha API
monitoring
An upstream WAF provider is experiencing increased latency in the IAD region, which appears to be primarily affecting connections from AWS us-east to our API endpoints.
Most traffic has been rerouted to nearby regions, so siteverify endpoints from servers connecting from AWS us-east regions that do not use our PrivateLink or Direct Routing options may see 20-50ms of increased latency until IAD is restored.
Impact appears to be less than 0.005% of total requests, but may be concentrated on some network links.
resolved
We are no longer seeing elevated latency in IAD.

monitoring
Due to an incident at an upstream CDN provider starting at 18:00 UTC, we are observing elevated P99 latency (+100-200ms) on a minority of traffic in the Eastern US and Western Europe regions, caused by some traffic being rerouted to more distant POPs.
We have put overrides in place and will continue to monitor performance; there is no impact to availability and no action is required.

P99 latency has returned to norm as of 20:05 UTC.
China region endpoints: elevated error rates

At Mar 22 01:21:56 2024 GMT, some users of dedicated mainland China region endpoints experienced an expired certificate error on some endpoints. The root cause has been identified and addressed. Global traffic was unaffected.
Reminder: Please ensure your server's root CA certificates are up to date
A început 15 martie 2024 la 04:00 UTC · 0m
Pending
resolved
hCaptcha APIs use several SSL certificate authorities, maintaining both primary and backup certificates; our CAA record is authoritative. We also automatically rotate certificates every three months as part of our security best practices.
We received several reports today from customers running servers with outdated root CA entries. They either needed to update these after our most recent automatic certificate rotation, or had locked their validation for our endpoints to a specific certificate chain rather than relying on CA validation and our CAA records.
Please ensure your servers calling the siteverify endpoint have an updated root CA store. This is an important security practice, as root CAs are occasionally compromised and removed from OS vendors' stores. Similarly, if you would like to enforce additional restrictions on validating our TLS certificates, please rely on the CAA record rather than hard-coding a specific intermediate chain.

Due to an upstream caching issue, some endpoints for mainland China users failed to update during certificate rotation and briefly served requests using an expired TLS certificate. This affected only users of dedicated China endpoints; China traffic using global endpoints was unaffected.

Challenge images failed to load for some WAF customer sites
A început 8 noiembrie 2022 la 08:30 UTC · 0m
IssuesIncident minor
resolved
A behavior change in an upstream deployment workflow caused some paths related to WAF customers' asset host paths to temporarily de-route. While most requests (>99%) were re-routed automatically with no user-visible impact, some WAF customer sites using custom asset hosts failed to load images for visual challenges. This issue has now been resolved.
