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

AS37468 (Angola Cables) - Route Leak?
by Phil Lavin 25 May '23

25 May '23

Hey Folks, Seeing massive packet loss on routes from AWS to Hetzner today. First was AWS USW2 -> Hetzner (e.g. 88.99.88.69). Traffic was transiting via AS37468 (Angola Cables) in Coresite IX. Now got loss from AWS apse1/apse2. Traffic transiting via AS37468 on Equinix IX. I e-mailed Hetzner NOC but they don’t seem entirely bothered, currently. My traceroute [v0.94] jcasc-rtc01 (10.36.21.252) -> phil.lavin.me.uk 2023-05-25T11:50:13+0000 Keys: Help Display mode Restart statistics Order of fields quit Packets Pings Host Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev 1. ip-10-36-17-199.ap-southeast- 0.0% 18 0.1 0.6 0.1 7.7 1.8 2. ec2-18-141-171-15.ap-southeas 0.0% 18 4.3 17.5 0.9 95.7 24.0 ec2-18-141-171-1.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com 3.

Spectrum - Midwest US residential
by vom513 10 May '23

10 May '23

Anyone had issues the past 2 days ? I have Spectrum in Cincinnati, OH and for the past 2 days or so I’ve had sites not loading, my monitoring systems alerting etc. Seems to have been both v4+v6 (based on the alerts I got). Wish I could catch it with a traceroute / RIPE atlas test but I haven’t been able to yet. My guess is it’s something backbone/peering related. I say this because when there is an OSP / last mile / CMTS type outage - Spectrum has been pretty good lately about pushing an alert to their app. No trucks around that I’ve seen, cable modem hasn’t rebooted, levels all about the same etc. I also called as usually they will have a message saying that they know about an outage in the area. None of this this time. I feel like those alerts only take into account “last mile” type issues. I’m currently on our backup ISP and I will try again tomorrow. Thanks.

Twitter down-ish?
by Andy Ringsmuth 04 May '23

04 May '23

Tried from multiple ISPs in Lincoln, Neb. Twitter loads, but goes to a “Nothing to see here. Looks like this page doesn’t exist.” That’s for the main twitter.com <http://twitter.com/> homepage or looking at any person’s feed. PLEASE lets not do a bunch of “me too” replies to outages. I set the “Reply-To” to go to -discussion. Sent at 9:10 a.m. CDT to also check list response time. ---- Andy Ringsmuth 5609 Harding Drive Lincoln, NE 68521-5831 (402) 202-1230 andy(a)andyring.com
