How many dozens until something is just, countless ?
Some foreign entity is practicing their cyber warfare abilities - this was a test.
It has all the bells and whistles kind of like the old used car I bought during covid lockdown time.
It may escape the coming EMP attack. LOL
One guest on a radio show today thought the Israeli cyberattacks against Iran would start before the bombing runs.
I’m sure this is unrelated.
Meh. Never been to any of those sites.
many/all web sites down with safari on mac, working with firefox on mac for me. ymmv.
I had no problem connecting today to my bank, broker, Walmart & Google and obviously FR.
Home Depot website was down today also. Lowes was fine.
I see Google is trying to manage their k8s fleet with Gemini again :) ....
This is our own government testing the internet kill switch. It is not a theory, they even tried to pass a bill against using it.
Agreed. The internet services that tend to be down are ones that depend on Google’s cloud services.
Democrats or Iranians?
Only in your Doomer fantasy.
Bombs going of in Iran!
