Apparently Equifax is down for consumers and businesses.
by Chapman, Brad (NBCUniversal) 13 Jul '26

13 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

by Eric Tykwinski via Outages 16 Mar '24

Looks like a isolated outage, as I’m still up on other floors, but lost cogent. Cogent PHL01 Hub is down/isolated. Broken water pipe in floor above has caused catastrophic outage causing a floor wide electrical outage on floor with PHL01. Cogent FE/techs on site. Building has techs on site and is dispatching electricians to troubleshoot and restore. All Cogent hub PHL01 equipment is currently without power. NOC contacting NOC Ops Mngt at this time. No ETR to report. _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages(a)outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages

Secondary DNS issues with Linode
by Chris Adams via Outages 16 Mar '24

16 Mar '24

I have a zone that gets dynamic updates on my server and then the Linode ns[1-5].linode.com (which I believe are managed by Cloudflare) are secondaries, but the Linode servers aren't properly propagating the updated data. I made a change over an hour ago, yet most queries to the Linode servers are still returning the old data. It varies because there is more than on server handling requests for each IP (so sometimes I do see the updated data, but not most of the time). I see the IXFRs in my logs, but they don't seem to be properly distributing the updated zones in their systems. This is keeping me from getting a Let's Encrypt DNS-01 validated cert right now. These updates normally take 1-2 minutes to propagate. I've opened a Linode ticket but haven't had any response. -- Chris Adams <cma(a)cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages(a)outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages

Verizon to Comcast Routing Issue - East Coast
by Austin Fisher via Outages 15 Mar '24

15 Mar '24

Anyone else noticing issues with connections from Verizon to Comcast and Vice Versa? On the East Coast and seeing issues across some of our customers VPNing from Comcast homes to Verizon offices, and same the other way. I ran a few tracerts and noticed that Comcast could get to Alter but dropped there, and Verizon never left its network. _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages(a)outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages
