Possible Digital Attack Underway Against Major Social Media Outlets

Down Detector is reporting several issues with social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp, among others. AT&T, CenturyLink and some banking sites are reporting issues as well. Yesterday there was a major reported outage along with other suspicious incidents, including an abrupt cancelling of Vice President Pence’s scheduled appearance in NH along with a reported emergency meeting a the Kremlin.

While cyber attacks and outages happen regularly and are rarely noteworthy, the frequency and intensity if these attacks may indicate a larger scheme of maneuver. At a minimum its something to be aware of. With everything, take it from a precautionary angle and have some cash on hand.

    Oh no whatever will the libs do without their propaganda machines? How ever will “they the nameless” gather data you willingly hand over to use against you now? I hope it takes all the social media offline. It certainly isn’t a better world with it.
    I hate to see anyone’s banking get messed up though.
    It’s the 4th, the perfect time for something to happen.

      We’d be FAR better off without it.

    From what I understand there was an error in the border gateway protocol (BGP), along with Cloudflare having a software bug.

    The BGP was built on mutual “trust” and no, that’s not an error or a typo or an exaggeration.

    A cyber disaster should be at the top of most people’s list of preparedness scenarios.

    This is especially interesting since I saw a report last week that our government was using cyber attacks against Russian electrical infrastructure, like it was no big deal.
