The Scope of the Disaster: Which Services Are Currently Frozen?
The scale of this outage is dizzying, suggesting a core failure in networking or DNS resolution that transcends regional boundaries. Early reports indicate that the failure initiated with widespread BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) routing errors, cascading into a complete service degradation across multiple major regions. The immediate effect has been the paralysis of essential online infrastructure.
Impacted Sectors and Known Failures Include:
- Financial Services: Multiple major global banks (citing sources in North America and Europe) have reported severe service interruption, affecting online transfers, mobile banking apps, and even some internal transaction verification systems. ATMs are reportedly functioning, but verification queues are spiking, causing delays.
- E-Commerce & Retail: Major retail platforms that rely heavily on cloud-based inventory and transaction processing are completely frozen. Black Friday-level sales traffic is being instantly rejected, leading to estimated losses in the hundreds of millions per hour.
- Communication & Collaboration Tools: A significant portion of the global workforce relying on enterprise tools for meetings, file sharing, and internal messaging are at a standstill. Productivity has plummeted globally.
- Media and Streaming: Major streaming services, video platforms, and news agencies relying on the affected infrastructure for content delivery networks (CDNs) are either entirely dark or suffering extreme buffering issues.
STRONG WARNING: Experts are urging users to avoid attempting repeated logins to critical financial services, as this could exacerbate system overload once restoration begins.
