Oh no. Who’s gonna help elect republicans now?
oh no, anyway
Can you imagine if your entire country lost access to the Internet all at once at the same time? Pandemonium.
Except for Russia I guess. Or North Korea.
It would be extremely interesting to see what kind traffic dip there was on x-twitter after that happened though.
Don’t worry. There are enough useful idiots outside Russia parroting their propaganda already. We barely even need their help at this point.
This is such a nothing burger. I know it sounds impressive, but this happens quite a lot all over the globe, and it usually gets resolved quite quickly (usually minutes). Packet routing faults are not as uncommon as one may think, especially when ISPs are playing around with their networking stack. Especially DNS related faults. Just two weeks ago Deutsche Telekom managed to take down our entire internet infrastructure (at a big German company) because they were playing around with their DNS. Hell, even service providers like AWS can take down a huge chunk of a country’s internet (and this has happened in 2021 in the US). AWS owns over 33% of the global cloud infrastructure market.

It’s weird that the article doesn’t say when it happened, just that officials said things 'later Tuesday '. Was it a blip or all day outage?
DNSSEC failure last I saw.
Who gone and dunnit, dang
It’s probably babushkas cutting the fiber optic cable again.
It was me. I bumped the cable and it fell out of the router. Sorry guys.
