    Global Internet Shutdown To Happen Soon? Scientist Warns About ‘Internet Apocalypse’ as Solar Superstorm Could Disrupt Satellites, GPS Systems and Fibre Optic Cables

    An impending solar superstorm could result in an “internet apocalypse” disrupting satellites, GPS systems and fibre optic cables. Peter Becker, a professor from George Mason University, in an interview explained that a solar superstorm occurs when the sun brightens, and the resulting radiation leads to a “muzzle flash.” This “cannon shot” is reportedly “the coronal mass ejection.” He went on to explain that one’s devices are not safe from solar superstorms and the solar superstorm could result in the internet shutting down for “several weeks to months.” What Is a Solar Storm?

  • Massive Global Internet Outage: Services Being Restored After Huge Internet Shutdown Hits Popular Websites, Including Leading News Portals

    Massive Global Internet Outage: Services Being Restored After Huge Internet Shutdown Hits Popular Websites, Including Leading News Portals

    San Francisco/New Delhi, June 8: After a huge global web outage caused by a “service configuration” took popular websites, including leading news portals, off the grid on Tuesday, the services resumed for some websites although it was a slow process.

    The technical glitch happened at the end of Fastly, a popular content delivery network (CDN) provider. The Cloud computing services provider said that the issue has been identified.

    “The issue has been identified and a fix has been applied. Customers may experience increased origin load as global services return,” Fastly said in an update. Massive Global Internet Outage: Sites Like Reddit, Spotify, New York Times, BBC and More Websites Down, Users Report ‘Error 503 Service Unavailable’ Message.

    “We identified a service configuration that triggered disruptions across our POPs [points of presence] globally and have disabled that configuration. Our global network is coming back online,” a Fastly spokesperson was quoted as saying in media reports.

    A CDN refers to a geographically distributed group of servers that work together to provide fast delivery of internet content. Several popular websites were down, including Reddit, Spotify, Twitch, GitHub, Hulu, HBO Max, CNN, the Guardian, the New York Times, BBC, Financial Times and many more.

    “Error 503 Service Unavailable,” was the message that appeared on the affected websites earlier.

    Other popular websites affected were gov.uk, Quora, PayPal, Shopify and others. The issues affected the UK government websites as British citizens were unable to renew passports, apply for tax allowances, or obtain driving licence during the outage. Massive Internet Outage Brings Down Big Global Websites; NYT, CNN, BBC, Reddit, Pinterest Among Those Affected.

    The Guardian newspaper said its website and app were affected by a wider internet outage. “Outages were reported in locations as varied as London, Texas and New Zealand,” the report noted.

    Last year, a problem with Cloudflare, another CDN company, led to a half-hour outage for most of the internet in major cities across Europe and the Americas.

    Parliament proceedings | Home Ministry did not issue any internet shutdown order in 2020: Dhotre

    The Union Home Ministry informed Parliament on Thursday.

    The government may suspend telecommunications services, including the Internet, under a temporary suspension of telecommunications services (temporary or public safety) in an area through an order issued by the Union Home Secretary or the Home Secretary of the state, as the case may be. To maintain law and order, he said.

    In response to a question asked by Minister of State for Communications Anand Sharma, the Minister of State for Communications said, “MHA has further stated that during the year 2020 it has not issued any order for suspension of internet services.”

    Mr. Dhotre said that the MHA has informed that no centralized database has been maintained by him in this regard.
