The nationwide outage at AT&T yesterday has already been resolved.
In earlier reports, the DHS and the FBI were already looking into the possibility of a cyberattack. There was also an unconfirmed report that the outage was caused by a technical error.
In a statement today, the wireless carrier confirmed that the hours-long service outage was a mistake on their end. They denied any claims that the issue was a cyberattack.
AT&T’s statement reads:
“Based on our initial review, we believe that today’s outage was caused by the application and execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network, not a cyber attack.”
DownDetector received a total of 73,000 reports related to the outage. While there were other carriers mentioned, the majority of the reports were from AT&T customers.
