#12I see multiple posts here speculating on cyberattack—as opposed to "we pushed a bad configuration update which messed everything up irreparably"—you know, like it has been every other time before this.
E.g., Cloudflare, Meta (who in doing so also locked themselves out of the building), and didn't some bumbling major Canadian telco knock themselves offline for like a week not too long ago?

That's not true though, sometimes it's inexplicitly DNS too.

#14The US would never purposefully cut of it's own communications, right? What would be the tells if that would have happened? And what could the average citizen do to be able to communicate regardless? Might be useful to always have that knowledge around, even if it isn't a personal threat to yourself today.
Didn’t they just raid a reporters house. I wonder what service provider they used…

#15Our Comcast DNS keeps going in and out too, not clear if it is related or knock on effect or something else entirely.

#17Some outlets reporting T-Mobile and ATT as well. I assume state on state cyber attacks are commonplace but get minimized to avoid public fear.. perhaps this will be the first notable one.
T-Mobile is up and Verizon is down in my house

#18West coast too, down in LA at same time (12 PM EST / 9 AM PST). I think they’re way way way underselling the # affected (“thousands” lol)
