We had 9,229,290 attacks in the last 24 hours analysed by Akamai (not Fox News). None came from Iran. Get software/analysis sources that will show you where the attacks are coming from. I don't want to give/promote you any here. I can tell you: Iran is not. Just politician talk. Iran is threatening more than it can really harm.I said something about Iran but this was before I knew about the earthquake that hit California.
However, Iran they did say they were going to hit us with cyber attacks.
God bless the people going through this earthquake. May everyone be safe & sound!

It's nothing but mistakes. Usually they can trace these things down to some internal team that screwed up a system configuration and took stuff down. Usually it's networking, of which BGP problems are the greatest offenders. I don't know if anyone remembers how unreliable Facebook was in 2008; outages weren't even news, let alone calls for nationwide alarm.

I just went through that quake (I'm pretty close to the epicenter at the moment), and it wasn't serious, just made buildings shake. I haven't seen any news of disasters. I really doubt it disrupted any infrastructure.I said something about Iran but this was before I knew about the earthquake that hit California.

The issues are real for me. I experience connection failure with one of my iCloud accounts in Calendar.
They use Google Cloud Platform mostly from what I've heard, but it's kinda secret. They probably use AWS for some things too.
The earthquake was more than 1.5 hours after the start of the iCould issue.
I never said it was for business. I said that I need business class reliability.
Read next time before you start typing your sarcastic response.
Ahh, thought this was due to an issue I was having with the Catalina Beta. Already rolled back to Mojave as a result, haha.
Well, you aren't going to get that either if it's not meant for business.
It holds no value here whether it is a American company or not on this matter, most iPhones and Apple gear are sold to non Americans, they do not celebrate 4th of July but are affected.

The central servers are in the US, as are most of their full-time engineers. I don't know if any big tech companies have perfectly decentralized their servers so that the US can go down without other countries going down. But even Europe could probably lose all connectivity without affecting services in the US.

Same here.......but I got through in the end and was told they had all sold outI must have broke it, was trying to order a new Mac Pro maxed out
It's a wakeup call. Netflix is known for handling outages very well due to their decentralization, even causing outages on purpose just to keep themselves honest. But... all they do is serve websites. I can't even imagine how complicated Apple's operations are.
Heh, I figured the mention of AI would alert everyone that it was a joke, but apparently not.
Heh. Maybe it is the re-launch of Gab... all the new account sign-up activity taking down the Internet.
I'd imagine the engineer has been paged by now, and after a coffee break and an afternoon nap, they will get right on it.
Facebook is trying to integrate messaging system for Messenger, Instagram and Whatsapp. Every time they try to roll out all three go down. It's like fifth time they're rolling back.
Wife: “Find My Friends isn’t working.”
Me: “Huh.”
Wife: *Hands me her iPhone
Me: *Checks Settings for a couple of minutes, doesn’t find anything amiss. Checks her Find My Friends App. It’s working. Hands iPhone back to wife. “It’s working now.”
Wife: Takes iPhone and says, “How’d you do that?”
Me: *Remains quiet to enforce false impression of my tech expertise.
