We're Back!!

by Tryan Hartill

UPDATE
Saturday 19th 1am

Qwest Internet and phone are still off, even though everyone outside of the area says it’s on now.

What is going on?

..............................................................................

Looks like the problem with Qwest phone and internet was caused by a break in Kelso. They are currently splicing the lines and things should be back to normal shortly.

NCO Back On

Not sure what happened, but NCO went off at 5:20 AM and is back at 1:27pm…..

Also this story seems quite odd:

Hackers literally turned out the lights in multiple cities after breaking into electrical utilities and demanding extortion payments before disrupting the power, a senior CIA analyst told utility engineers at a trade conference.

All the break-ins occurred outside the United States, said senior CIA analyst Tom Donahue. The U.S. government believes some of the hackers had inside knowledge to cause the outages. Donahue did not specify what countries were affected, when the outages occurred or how long the outages lasted. He said they happened in “several regions outside the United States.”

Yeah someone I was talking to last night was hooked up for the first time yesterday….

Install guy:

“Ah ok it’s hooked up and ready to go except…ah you see that red light? well you can’t use it until that turns green and I don’t know when that will be.”

And “THEY” are speculating someone was cutting the Optical Fiber cable coming out of the ground, up the pole thinking it was all copper wire?

If that Qwest system is that vulnerable, we’re in some deep pookey here.
