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

Optus/Akamai
by Jay Ashworth 14 Nov '23

Off of Facebook of all places, I hear this report that Optus had a major outage in Australia last night, which is believed to have been a BGP screw up involving Akamai: "Nope: it was Akamai increasing their advertised prefix count from their cdn nodes inside the Optus network, and Optus’s configured max-prefix settings on their core bgp sessions from their route reflectors weren’t quite high enough and their whole network went down. Someone didn’t quite think through the value for internal max-prefix rules.." Anybody confirm, deny, got hit by it? Cheers, -- jra -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Dreamhost MySQL outage?
by James Lawrie 05 Nov '23

05 Nov '23

It could be something else, but one of our sites is down because MySQL endpoint is unresponsive, and attempting to login to contact them panel.dreamhost.com has the same problem (gives either 503 or times out).
