L3 Sliced on the Northeast Coast, millions of businesses affected (check in here)

[AzzarTheGod]

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.....

Already fixed..... Nobody has said intentional from what I've seen.

its a matter of national security its classified and being kept under wraps.

the info I got was from level 3 support after being on the phone for a few hours.

[Daywolf]

You sure the support wasn't from... India? :)
Could be, but best to check things out first. I tend to just not trust support over the phone, but that's just me.

[Swish]

Did they try disconnecting it and connecting it again? (India customer service)

I'm sure they gave you the "classified" lowdown. Thank goodness.

[gildor]

Street construction backbone cuts happen all of the time. I work for the biggest carrier network in the world, we saw impact from this, but a single L3 DNS node is not the end of the world. We live and work in a redundant world of redundancy world.

Intentional? Possibly...that happens all of the time as well. We usually see 5-10 cases a year that we can pin and prove on sabotage.

Years like this year where the CWA strike, and then leave the picket line to drive home in their Mercedes, it can climb 10 fold..people are dumb.

[AzzarTheGod]

My provider uses 100% domestic customer service from the USA. Mostly midwest and southern from what I gathered chatting with them.

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.

This particular cut hit only Google services. Yahoo and other competitors services surged in use during the outage (which was short-lived, a few hours, before Google had a reroute).

It struck during primetime, after construction and work day hours were over.

Its being called a cyber terror attack on underground tech discussion forums for the aforementioned reasons and apparent specificity of the targeting. They resolved a list of available DNS against a list of competitors which came out looking very suspicious. This DNS node carried all the big dogs and didn't hurt a single small dog.

They gave me the lowdown. They didn't fix shit it was rerouted.

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

You can't tell by an accent any longer, not always. They beat that out of 'em hehe

I call it like I see it.

The line was swiss-cheesed up according to lvl 3 support I talked to (he seemed close to the problem and was getting details from a field repair tech who was in contact with other techs).

Its classified because its a national security threat to tamper with communication lines.

[Manticmuse]

Welcome to p99, where lvl 3 techs divuge classified info to customers over the phone bc they are special. We may be an old emu, but we have the best damn sleuths with the highest damn eq on the web. Ty azzarthegod for watching out over us. No one else could have put it together. I mean, it didnt happen during 9-5 and no one ever works outside of those hours, especially on contruction or repairs. Thank you for this lol.

[JackFlash]

I like the part where the support guy gives azzar the classified information regarding their infrastructure.

[Hoozi]

Cya OP.

L2 poison a provider. 64666:3356

[AzzarTheGod]

They shut my access off but I'm back in.

Theres a Hastings style conspiracy happening. The level 3 support gave me the word. I don't see you posting any real sources.

[AzzarTheGod]

got a new update coming

[AzzarTheGod]

taking longer than expected but I will have something to post soon.

Just saw this.

Your welcome. It only took me 4 hours on the phone, with 3 support level escalations, and 2 separate phone numbers to call before I could get the raw facts on this L3 outage.

I stayed on the phone all night in front of my PC for you guys. They were hesitant to tell me anything in level 1. Level 2 was much more talkative but still holding back. When I got to level 3, it was smooth sailing but it took me the better part of an evening.

[AzzarTheGod]

still here and working on it

[AzzarTheGod]

Here again looking for more data.

[AzzarTheGod]

Not sure what good pity would be during a situation like this.

Mocking a potential matter of national security doesn't strike me as all that smart. Try losing the attitude.

Not sure how to respond to this. I'm out here doing something for the community and all you guys do is come here to tear someones efforts down rather than try to build someone up. You are probably not a good person.

How about making a contribution in regards to the topic of the thread instead of drive-by posting, trolling, and putting people down for cheap effect with your gang of jock bully forum friends.

[AzzarTheGod]

Looking for more help on this if anyone would like to post please do.

[AzzarTheGod]

Has anyone seen anything?

[AzzarTheGod]

Working on a new update.

I have talked to a few different sources and I have a lot more information coming. But I wanted to see if anyone had heard anything yet? This thread is getting a lot of views and nobody seems to want to discuss what could be a major event (I realize some people who work in the industry were dismissive earlier in this thread, but I have information that says otherwise that I will be publishing soon)

So I don't know what the problem is exactly with people showing disinterest in a subject that can directly affect them and their government. Especially in light of what happened in Orlando. It is amazing how many people just don't care I guess.

Besides the trolls that have already posted. Although trolls are welcome to stop trolling and make a contribution, of course.

[Tenlaar]

I heard that...






































...you're still dumb.

[Thulack]

I hope he actually posts this drivel on websites of people that might actually care and not just wastes his time doing it on this forum.

Finally made a big breakthrough, no thanks to you and your troll buddies.

More to come still working up some fingers and informants. If anyone else has heard anything please come forward as its all a part of my process and workup.

I am doing this as a side project and hobby in my personal life, and yes we do have other people here who are interested you pompous blowhard Thulack.

[big_ole_jpn]

Thanks for the update. Don't mind the haters - we're looking forward to the inside scoop. Keep your eyes open and don't wind up like Hastings.

[AzzarTheGod]

Hey guys its taking more time than I thought to get that source I wanted on the record.

I have been busy and feeling out of it, especially after dealing with so many trolls in this thread. I also felt a difference in my car the past few days but I did hit a big pothole last week I think. I am trying not to put much thought into it and stay focused on my work and this L3 project.

So hopefully people are appreciative of updates as they come in. Stop spreading negative vibes. I am up against a lot as it is already I don't need P99 on my back.

[Crypodosktorr]

Azzar will deliver us

[AzzarTheGod]

At least there are a few people who are supportive. Its been hell lately working late nights and doing this project on the side.

But I stand to be able to make a fair amount of coin selling this story to the Washington Post when I'm done.

I'll be getting paid and cashing a check while you hateful four-eyed poindexters (I.E. Thulack, Tenlaar) are busy scrunching your noses up throwing stones at someone accomplishing something big for once in the P99 community.

What hobbies could Thulack have that also have the potential to make some spare money? I am guessing absolutely fucking nothing.

Lol Please continue wasting your time on something none of us care about :) Once you hit it big you can come back and rub it in my face all you want. I'll be waiting patiently :rolleyes: Dont need a hobby to make extra money. Live off the money i make with my job just fine. Hobbies are for fun not to make money.

Hmhmmm got an update finally-- coming soon big boy sit tight.

Fire the upboats. Only 5 pages and 2k views (thats extremely unusual and high for this forum, should be views in the low 400's at best) It shows that the interest is there and this is poised to be my ticket to the big time.

And a lot of Thulack's and Tenlaar's hating on the sidelines. Fix it.

Unless you're directly connected via Lvl3, your provider should be able to route you around issues like this.

this is a really weird troll. delusions of grandeur aside, it's just not that interesting with literally nothing but promises of updates. can you give us something? at this point, "soon" means no. who was the p99 player who always claimed he was bringing down p99...systolic? reminds me of that.

[maskedmelon]

What exactly is L3. I understand it part of the internets, but which part? Where? How different from L1/L2 (am I irresponsible assuming they exist?) what about L4+, those exist?

Honestly i pay no attention to any News on television or internet for that matter other then stuff that beats me in the face when i go to social media sites. I rather live out my life enjoying what i have and what i like and i rather not worry about politics or any other garbage like that because i really dont care. One day i will die and that will be it. Until that time i will enjoy what i like doing and really dont give a rats ass what our government does.
