I'm not sure if the outage had anything to do with DPF going down?
CRESA911 Alerted me (below), called and emailed (below) me that 911 was down
Emails
Phone Call
This all started after 11pm last night but earlier in the day I was experiencing access problems to many websites including DPF, my bank couldn't function, hospitals couldn't access patients records, ATMs didn't work, 911 centers were down, cascade affect to AT&T networks mainly cell sites, Internets were down, websites down including multiple cloud services, this was far reaching from New York to California to Canada, also impacted 15 data center. CenturyLink stated the problem was a "NETWORK ELEMENT" and what the hell is a network element? poltergeist? some scifi element? whatever it was it was a single point failure! That should be bothersome to the whole nation and scary!
Another point on the matter, CRESA911 emailed all my current emails but the one email account is very puzzling and the main point to this post. when I created the account on DPF in 2012 I also created an email account that's only used for DPF, it has never been used anywhere else and I only access this account on my iphone, somehow CRESA911 known this account (how?) the account was never setup on this computer nor the phone, it was setup on another computer in another state using a totally different name, in fact the email was setup on a server in another country, the only common denominator is my phone and I know DPF didn't share the email, this just as weird as the 'network element' that taken down CenturyLink.
At this point, the FCC and Homeland Security are investigating this
These are the impacted cloud service in the US, GB, Canada, Australia, Germany and Singapore
