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

Frontier Backend Systems
by Mike Hammett via Outages 19 Apr '24

19 Apr '24

As reported in some tech media and has been pushed out via customer notification systems, Frontier has been experiencing some sort of nondescript cyber attack on its backend infrastructure. It looks like most wholesale customer-facing systems are affected, but some portions of their retail website also aren't working. Frontier says customers services aren't affected. There are some user reports that they are affected, but we all know the accuracy of user reports. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages(a)outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages

Verizon in Seattle WA

Hi, I have customer with Verizon having either DNS resolution issues or return traffic back to them is not being received. I suspect that the Verizon DNS resolvers are going though the same path that the return traffic is going down. I have/am working on contacting my upstreams. The numbers I have found to call version have failed as I do not have an account. Maybe someone here has some information, or has a way to help? two know IP's that I am unable to reach are: 72.83.97.146 and 100.18.11.5 Sample traceroute from me 208.77.208.1 / AS13438: traceroute to 72.83.97.146 (72.83.97.146), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 216.243.28.217 11.431 ms 11.387 ms 11.933 ms 2 174.127.149.137 12.008 ms 11.941 ms 11.902 ms 3 69.174.9.189 11.294 ms 11.293 ms 11.237 ms 4 89.149.130.78 11.126 ms 89.149.130.54 12.343 ms 14.100 ms 5 204.148.146.45 11.284 ms 11.216 ms 11.262 ms 6 * * * 7 * * * 8 * * * 9 * * * 10 * * * (Repeating) This does not seem to be isolated to me. One of my upstreams confirmed they could not ping one of the above IP's and if you check out this remote IP testing site you can see it doesn't seem to be able to reach it from the two Seattle ISP's. (You can click "Show" on the line to see traceroute details) https://ping.pe/72.83.97.146 https://ping.pe/100.18.11.5 Thank you to anyone in advance that reviews or looks into this.

Our gear dropped, and I'm hearing they had two UPS failures. They're supposedly running on generator, but our stuff hasn't come back yet. _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages(a)outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages
