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

I appreciate all the reciprocity and the outreach. I can’t express my gratitude enough. We hope Jared is well and I’m sure he would reach out if any help is needed.

Spare us. If the list is so unreliable and broken, why are you bringing others to it? You don’t get to simultaneously undermine the value of a volunteer-run service and then act shocked when it doesn’t roll out a red carpet for your friend. > > Maybe instead of playing self-appointed auditor, you could try offering help, patience, or silence.

All Outages list management broken?
by Andy Ringsmuth 18 Apr '25

18 Apr '25

Earlier this week I referred a colleague to the Outages lists. They haven’t been able to subscribe to any of the lists. All of the links below return with the “Bug in Mailman” page. My colleague would have posted it but they can’t, because they can’t join. I suspect something went haywire on the back end perhaps and I wonder if it was restored from an old backup config. I noticed all of the messages about the Zoom outage on Wednesday went to an old address of mine that had been unsubscribed from the lists for quite some time. https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages-announce https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages-discussion https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/ Bug in Mailman version 2.1.34We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs or the web server logs. ---- Andy Ringsmuth andy(a)andyring.com
