July 2021 - Outages - Outages Lists

Apparently Equifax is down for consumers and businesses.

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

List propagation improvement
by Jay R. Ashworth 29 Jul '21

29 Jul '21

Thanks to Jared, who runs the machinery of the Outages lists, for hammering on that machinery this week; propagation time through the list server appears to have dropped from several hours to about 5 minutes. :-) Hopefully, this will have the effect on the lists of *reducing* overlapping reports, since everyone will get to see them more timely... and not *increasing* them (since everyone will get more of them to reply to). We hope the lists remain a useful service to everyone, and if you want to unsubscribe, remember that there's a link to do so in the footer of each message you receiver. And, as always, remember that if you send a message to outages, you may be setting off 10,000 pagers. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Hi, We just got a flood of alerts for Digital Ocean's NYC3. Their main portal is not loading either. For a moment it seems their routes were completely withdrawn. Anyone else seeing such issues?

DigitalOcean

We lost access to all of our systems hosted via DigitalOcean a few moments ago, and upon trying to log in to their dashboard encountered a mix of 504 errors, "DigitalOcean is undergoing maintenance", and flat out failures to load. Our apps all live in SFO-1, NYC-1, and NYC-3. -- <https://www.elkgroveparks.org/> Dustin Sneath Superintendent of I.T. | Elk Grove Park District *P* 847-228-3846 *W *elkgroveparks.org <https://www.facebook.com/elkgroveparks> <https://twitter.com/elkgroveparks> <https://www.instagram.com/elkgroveparks/> <https://www.youtube.com/user/EGParkDistrict/videos> IAPD / IPRA Illinois Distinguished Accredited Agency *Confidentiality Note:* This email may contain confidential and or private information.
