alt Hacker NewsSome outlets reporting T-Mobile and ATT as well.
I assume state on state cyber attacks are commonplace but get minimized to avoid public fear.. perhaps this will be the first notable one.

Estonia was the first major NATO victim of such things https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_cyberattacks_on_Estonia
Made worse by the fact Estonia is a more networked society than, for example, the US.

The down detector site has Verizon outage reports two order of magnitude bigger, so it doesn't seem like a cyber attack to me.
https://downdetector.com/status/t-mobile/ ~ 1,600
https://downdetector.com/status/att/ ~ 1,500
https://downdetector.com/status/verizon/ ~ peaked at ~169k, dropped to 67k

T-Mobile is up and Verizon is down in my house
The alternative network reports are most likely people trying to call Verizon customers and reporting an outage when they can't get through.
