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_from_the_suez_canal_authority_on_the/> for the last two days...

It was me... I applied for a few credit cards today. I didn't think my credit was bad enough to bring the entire system down 🥴... On Thu, Mar 25, 2021, 3:28 PM Chapman, Brad (NBCUniversal) via Outages < outages@outages.org> wrote:

No it was me. I started this new "Credit Score Diet" where I pull a lot of fat histories for later consumption. On 3/25/21, Joshua Samuels via Outages <outages@outages.org> wrote:

No ETA from Equifax as of 2 minutes ago. Status: Ongoing. Equifax support teams continue to investigate the issue
impacting services due to inclement weather at the Atlanta Data Center. Technical and facilities teams are working to restore full functionality.
