Anyone else tracking the nation-wide AT&T outage?

We’re on Verizon, so minimal impact, but our daughter away at school is on AT&T, so we can’t reach her except on the computer.

A lot of rumors about the real trigger for this event, but a nice test run for an EMP scenario regardless I suppose.

edit: yeah, just saw the other thread… @MarinePMI any chance you or another mod can merge the threads? No need to retain this thread’s title.

Enemy action . Either US gov or other gov

Yeah, the first one I heard was Russia, which in my mind automatically = false flag op by our side

war mongers are gonna monger, and do whatever it takes to keep the revenue stream pumping.

Take down the network.
Now capture EVERY mobile ID as they reconnect.
Update all the old data bases that track your every move.
Sort of like clearing your cache.

I wouldn't think EMP since it doesn't appear to have affected other carriers.

Id be more likely to think cyber attack or hacking by foreign actors.

 

[hlee]

yes...

 

[wvfarrier]

Practice run for the real deal

 

[JTinMO]

It's pretty annoying as my wife is making me place all her needed calls. I have verizon. Her AT&T is down.

 

[Norther]

No problems with AT&T here…

 

[Big Phish]

No issue with my AA&T here but all other carriers is involved also.

"We are being told AT&T has no reason to think this was a cyber or security incident," said Kirby, adding that the FCC was in touch with the company.


"But the bottom line is we don't have all the answers," he said about the cause of the outage.


AT&T declined to comment on the FCC's investigation into the incident.

Verification that it indeed was a cyberattack.

Never trust what is told to you.

i didnt even know there was a problem with AT&T. I have AT&T and im located in southwest kansas. Never even noticed anything wrong with my phone. Made calls the whole day and sent texts. Never a hiccup.

But let all the conspiracy theories begin.

 

[Glowie]

Must have been Russia. They seem to do bad stuff around here all the time

Dems: Is there any way we can tie Trump to this (or at least blame climate change)?

I wonder if we will ever know the truth
