Apparently Equifax is down for consumers and businesses.
by Chapman, Brad (NBCUniversal) 04 Jul '26

04 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

I've had a CMAS alert relayed to me this afternoon saying that 9-1-1 service is inop in Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton and Dorchester counties, South Carolina... which seem *suspiciously* alphabetical to me -- and no, that's not intended as humor.

The Internet is down.
by Jay R. Ashworth 19 May '21

19 May '21

Ok, clearly that's not what's actually happening, but nearly every graph on the home page of downdetector.com started spiking on the same curve around 2200EDT, and they've not started coming down yet; 250k+ reports for YouTube. Someone break a core IX somewhere? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Routing issues
by Rob Hall 13 May '21

13 May '21

We're seeing routing issues and high latency coming from multiple sources across the country, and a lot of the traffic failure is coming from a L3 router located at 4.69.160.94. Is anyone else seeing similar behavior?
