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

ISPs all over the country are getting flooded with tech-support calls from customers claiming their Internet is slow or down. It’s actually a Netflix issue which seems to be caused by millions of people trying to watch the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight. -- *Doug Roberts* <http://cytranet.com/> _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages(a)outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages

Office365 issues

Any aware of any ongoing issues with o365? I can't get the page to download the desktop version of o365 apps to load. A user changed his password and can login to o365 on the web, but outlook/onenote/etc. on his desktop won't sign him in, they just load indefinitely after he enters his new password. Teams and Onedrive are working for him though. Also Status page isn't loading fully: https://portal.office.com/servicestatus Regards, Bruce Freshwater Direct: 412.722.1701 Mobile: 412.292.0282 Main: 866.707.5869 Fax: 412.774.2469 Email: BFreshwater(a)SierraExperts.com<mailto:BFreshwater@SierraExperts.com> Request Help: Support Portal (SIM)<sim.sierraincidentmanager.com> Sierra Experts [A red dots on a black background Description automatically generated] 2 Robinson Plaza, Suite 300, Pittsburgh, PA 15205-1017 Our Services: Managed Services<http://www.sierraexperts.com/managed-services/> | Development & Design<https://www.sierraexperts.com/software-development/> | Telephony & VoIP<http://www.sierraexperts.com/telephony-and-voip/> | Hardware & Software<http://www.sierraexperts.com/hardware-and-software/> | Data Center<http://sierradatacenters.com/> Stay Connected: Website<http://www.sierraexperts.com/> | Awards<https://www.sierraexperts.com/about-us/> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/SierraExperts> | X<https://twitter.com/sierraexperts> | LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/sierra-w-o-wires> | Blog<http://www.sierraexperts.com/about-us/blog/> [email-signature-sdvosb] [cid:image003.png@01DAC3B5.FAFA3750]<https://www.sierraexperts.com/2024-top-managed-service-provider/?utm_source…> _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages(a)outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages

Major Verizon FiOS Outage VA/MD/NJ/PA 11/12/24 12:28am EST - Ongoing
by Cary Wiedemann via Outages 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Major multi-state Verizon FiOS outage began at 12:28am EST and is still ongoing. Virginia, DC, Maryland, New Jersey, all affected. Eastern Pennsylvania (Philadelphia region) is affected, Western Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) not impacted. New York City is not impacted. Last few Verizon FiOS events were far more regional, this one is widespread. Verizon Wireless seems unaffected so far. Traceroutes die before hitting the ALTER.NET core. Hopefully unannounced maintenance given the timing. - Cary _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages(a)outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages
