EDIT: There’s no tier 1 failure. My shits just fucked.
I don’t have easy access to very much high level, non-public network data and information outside my organization. But, based on what I can see, it sure looks like at least one piece of the US fiber backbone has gone kaput.
I decided our small organization would react as if this were true. But, we really don’t know and haven’t had time to figure it out, yet.
The worst case scenario for regular people is that their shift gets cut today, possibly also tomorrow, because their assigned computer is fucked.
