L3 Sliced on the Northeast Coast, millions of businesses affected (check in here)
Potential cyber terror attack just struck tonight. Details are scant, as the corporation is giving limited information as they don't have exact details.
What I was able to 100% confirm from the provider (Cox Communications) is that the L3 was physically damaged intentionally and cut in half by someone who had access to the line. Hundreds of businesses in the Northeast are without email on a Monday night (huge business week) Check in here with your service provider, your general location (east coast is fine no need to get specific) and whether you are able to resolve www.google.com, www.youtube.com, www.gmail.com, www.wikipedia.org, etc. or any other essential service. google is being used as the gold standard DNS for determining whether your area is affected, but confirming youtube also helps solidify. There is no ETA on the line repair as this is the first time this has happened to an L3 DNS node.

Where are you reading it was an intentional fiber cut? Everything ive read sounds like its just a regular old fiber cut... this happens all the time, unfortunately. Maybe not so much for backbone but it can still if some jackwagon is out with a backhoe.....

The cable was swiss cheese and cut at the switch, not a construction accident.

You sure the support wasn't from... India? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Could be, but best to check things out first. I tend to just not trust support over the phone, but that's just me.

Never spoke to an Indian in my life. Never even heard so much as an accent in over 5 years with the company, not even a Spanish person. Not a hint of minority. I use them for both business and home. Is that what you Time-Warner people deal with? Comcast too? I'd never pay for that kind of service.
