Some 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.
- mrits 8mo agoT-Mobile is up and Verizon is down in my house
- in0v8r 8mo agoThe alternative network reports are most likely people trying to call Verizon customers and reporting an outage when they can't get through.
- eob 8mo agoYou think like a person who’s debugged large systems failures before :). That feels very plausible.
- madcaptenor 8mo agoI've seen it happen before - in the big AT&T outage a couple years ago reports came in on downdetector of outages for other providers.
- mosura 8mo agoEstonia was the first major NATO victim of such things https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_cyberattacks_on_Estonia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_cyberattacks_on_Estonia Made worse by the fact Estonia is a more networked society than, for example, the US.
- swsieber 8mo agoThe down detector site has Verizon outage reports two order of magnitude bigger, so it doesn't seem like a cyber attack to me. https://downdetector.com/status/t-mobile/ https://downdetector.com/status/t-mobile/ ~ 1,600 https://downdetector.com/status/att/ https://downdetector.com/status/att/ ~ 1,500 https://downdetector.com/status/verizon/ https://downdetector.com/status/verizon/ ~ peaked at ~169k, dropped to 67k
