Mailing List Charter: The OUTAGES mailing list provides a forum for the timely exchange of information and technical discussion regarding major outages affecting critical Internet infrastructure. The list is intended to facilitate cooperation and knowledge sharing among network operators, Internet service providers, carriers, cloud providers, and infrastructure engineers worldwide. Topics appropriate for discussion include, but are not limited to: * Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) * DNS root servers and authoritative DNS infrastructure * Major carrier and backbone network outages * Cloud service provider outages * Data centers and carrier hotels * Central Offices (COs) * Submarine cable systems * Critical routing incidents (BGP, MPLS, Segment Routing, etc.) * Large-scale DDoS attacks affecting Internet infrastructure * Core blockchain infrastructure (e.g., Bitcoin nodes and supporting networks) * Other incidents that materially impact Internet availability, resiliency, or global connectivity The primary purpose of the list is to enable rapid information sharing, collaborative troubleshooting, post-incident technical analysis, and the exchange of operational best practices among the global network operations community. To ensure the mailing list remains a valuable technical resource, participation is governed by the following guidelines: 1. Discussion will focus on Internet / backbone related outages and technical issues surrounding it as described in the charter of OUTAGES. 2.

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

Hello, Tried visiting the BIS[.]GOV website and it is not loading. Tried a few pages in my browser's history (https[:]//www[.]bis[.]gov/about-bis and https[:]//www[.]bis[.]gov/news-updates) and received the following error: 502 Bad Gateway Microsoft-Azure-Application-Gateway/v2 Getting a 524: A Timeout Occurred error when attempting to visit https[:]//www[.]bis[.]gov/regulations/ear (also via my web browser's history). I am connecting from the Comcast/Xfinity network, not that I believe that makes any difference. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

Frontier issue southern cal
by William Kern 12 May '26

12 May '26

After an hour on the hold and never hearing back from about the WebTicket I had created on their support portal. I was able to get a rep to confirm a general issue "in the region". She mumbled about getting lots of calls, so I'm not sure of the blast radius. We are in Thousand Oaks. I hope this isn't another one of those "idiots can't tell the difference between fiber and copper" cuts. William "Bill" Kern PixelGate Networks

AWS recovering a bit after losing AZ in me-central-1
by Paul M - outages 13 Mar '26

13 Mar '26

https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status Service Multiple services Severity Degraded RSS Increased Error Rates Mar 01 7:09 AM PST We wanted to provide some additional information on the isolated power issue. At this time, most AWS Services have weighted away from the affected Availability Zone (mec1-az2) and are seeing recovery for their affected operations and workflows. For EC2 Instances, EBS Volumes, and other resources that are impacted in the affected Zone, we will have a longer tail of recovery. At this time, power has not yet been restored to the affected AZ. For now, we recommend continuing to retry any failed API requests. If immediate recovery is required, we recommend customers restore from EBS Snapshots and/or replace affected resources by launching replacement resources in one of the unaffected zones, or an alternate region. As of this time, recovery is still several hours away. We will provide an update by 8:30 AM PST, or sooner if we have additional information to share. Mar 01 6:09 AM PST We can confirm that a localized power issue has affected a single Availability Zone in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region (mec1-az2). EC2 Instances, DB Instances, EBS Volumes, and others resources are currently unavailable and will experience connectivity issues at this time. Other AWS Services are also experiencing error rates and latencies for some workflows. We have weighed away traffic for most services at this time. We recommend customers utilize one of the other Availability Zones in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region at this time, as existing instances in other AZ's remain unaffected by this issue. We are actively working to restore power and connectivity, at which time we will begin to work to recover affected resources. As of this time, we expect recovery is multiple hours away. We will provide an update by 7:15 AM PST, or sooner if we have additional information to share. Mar 01 5:19 AM PST We are investigating connectivity and power issues affecting APIs and instances in a single Availability Zone (mec1-az2) in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region due to a localized power issue. Existing instances in this zone will also be affected. Other AWS Services may also be experiencing increased errors and latencies for their workflows, and we are working to route requests away from this affected Availability Zone. We recommend customers make use of other Availability Zones at this time. Targeting new launches using RunInstances in the remaining AZs should succeed. Existing instances in the other AZs are not affected. Mar 01 4:51 AM PST We are investigating issues with AWS services in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region.
