Massive cell service outage nationally

[Open Source Intelligence]

AT&T affected amongst other companies. Emergency services also affected.

"Potential cyberattack" in some comments about it.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

It's kind of nice tbh. So peaceful

[Pres Mike]

I have T-Mobile and I still have service, but my coworkers with At-t don't

I have T-Mobile and I still have service, but my coworkers with At-t don't

+1 for T-Mobile, I've had no issues today.

Weirdly, no issues today for me with Cricket, which uses the At&t network.

Solar flare bruh.

I just watched 6 Youtubes on the Carrington Incident.

I have Verizon, no issues so far today.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

Verizon Cellular, ATT Fiber home internet and thankfully the latter seems unaffected.

I do not miss their cell service.

[Ferguson97]

Verizon. No issues with my phone, or WiFi at work.

I've been working from home this past week.  My company laptop lost connection late yesterday afternoon and did not come back until about an hour ago.  My own home Wifi connection was fine.  People working in the office were fine, too.  Somehow the outage caused my company laptop to stop talking to my Wifi.  Or something.

United Health has been being hacked since yesterday

U.S. healthcare technology giant Change Healthcare has confirmed a cyberattack on its systems. In a brief statement Wednesday, the company said it was “experiencing a network interruption related to a cyber security issue.”

“Once we became aware of the outside threat, in the interest of protecting our partners and patients, we took immediate action to disconnect our systems to prevent further impact,” Change Healthcare wrote on its status page. “The disruption is expected to last at least through the day.”

The incident began early on Wednesday morning on the U.S. East Coast, according to the incident tracker.

The specific nature of the cybersecurity incident was not disclosed. Most of the login pages for Change Healthcare were inaccessible or offline when TechCrunch checked at the time of writing.

Michigan local newspaper the Huron Daily Tribune is reporting that local pharmacies are experiencing outages due to the Change Healthcare cyberattack.

Scheurer Health, a healthcare provider in Michigan, said on its Facebook page that it cannot currently process prescriptions through patients’ insurance, citing the “nationwide outage from the largest prescription processor in North America,” referring to Change Healthcare.

we should have made a Cyber Force before we made a Space Force, it's a much more acute threat

[Santander]

I avoid doing business with Texas-based companies, anyway.

[Progressive Pessimist]

This affected my mom and created mild panic at our local AT&T.

[Upper Canada Tory]

Huh. I thought stuff like this only happened in Canada.

AT&T is a very disorganized company.
