Up last 5 so minutes. Went down last midnight, Eastern time. So, mark that on 14 hours.
Interestingly, fool.com went down exact same time as you, so was wondering whether this was a FedGov test. Would like to hear cause - if you know what caused it.
I’m getting ping and tracert errors, just now getting fixed and much closer to my end than your end, which would indicate a major router outage/hack.
East/West connections are getting stuck near Newton, Kansas. This affected only a few web sites. No chatter about it on the usual tech/political sites - aside from this thread.
Routers involved include (not limited to) 71.xx.xx.xx 12.xx.xx.xx - all at same location in Kansas. May take 24+ hours for all FR members, or could have already resolved for FR - but other sites still down.
Or maybe the routers in Kansas are fine but can’t find the next backbone link - I noticed the same backbone IP address 63.xx.xx.xx reported as being in Glen Burnie MD and Denver CO, which is informative of the underlying issue.
