Just spent like 20 mins wondering why I can't sign in on my PC. Yet in a rather odd twist, most things (that I usually do around this time anyway) are fine on my phone?

Yeah, another thing I was going to say is see how dependent we are on one company for their services???

Google and amazon control the internet. Just imagine a full scale AWS outage. 33% of the internet would die.

I've got a YouTube page that I had open prior to the outage, that's still working. 

 

Google Drive has just come back online for me.

I legit have a shirt that says this and wear it as a jab to my father in law who calls me all the time and 90% of the time just power cycling whatever it is resolves it.

Have to. Benefits outweigh liabilities.

Floatplane would still work. They made their service hosting independent!

Was wanting a YouTube video to procrastinate on getting ready for work. 
 

Was forced to actually get ready for work instead.

It seems like nowdays service outage is the equivalent of stock market crash.

Just imagine a hospital relying on Google services went down. Those 30 minutes of downtime can spell life or death for many patients. Or if you’re in a court hearing that uses Google Meet but all of a sudden it stopped working.

That's dark. And a push to see the real life implications which I implied in "my thoughts"

Level 3/CenturyLink actually does... when they had an issue with BGP routing a few months ago.. over half the internet across the globe was down or severely degraded as a result...

Any info on what caused it possible botnet DDoS like last time? If so something weird going on with the government getting hacked and MS being compromised all around the same time frame.

Oh, that's sus. Could be related, could not. Too many hackers nowadays. I get more ads saying "Become a hacker" nowadays, so some people got serious, maybe. 

 

Anyways, we really shouldn't spread conspiracy theories on this forum!

I heard this was related to SolarWind, @leadeater do you have any contact that have talked to you about this ? (sorry, I can't say where my info is coming from, even in PM, NDA stuff and all).

No idea, I'm not working currently and on holiday and so is basically the rest of ITS. Building could be on fire for all I know lol. I'm pretty sure relevant information would be sitting in the inbox of our security and risk associate director but he and I are not working
