Apparently Equifax is down for consumers and businesses.
by Chapman, Brad (NBCUniversal) 13 Jul '26

13 Jul '26

I was ordering fiber optic internet from Frontier Communications—my doctor said I should consume more fiber—but their system said my credit check failed and was demanding an equipment deposit. I pushed back. They ran it three times. Then they got word in a group chat that Equifax’s consumer and business portals are down, so they can’t process any credit checks. Woe be unto you if you work in finance or support a business that depends on this service. I hope they didn’t have another breach. Maybe they will need a tiny excavator to dig them out of this mess like that freighter stuck in the Suez canal<https://www.reddit.com/r/CatastrophicFailure/comments/mcw8og/new_pictures_f…> for the last two days... Cheers, Brad

It appears quite a few sites that use GCP load balancers are all returning a 404 right now. Two examples include spotify.com and homedepot.com.

Google Cloud "outage"?
by McCloskey, William 16 Nov '21

16 Nov '21

Seeing reports through our helpdesk of multiple consumer sites being down. The commonality between them all seems to be they are hosted on Google Cloud (the sites are all returning a generic Google 404 page).
