No $5 received here.. Just a text message saying, "It's AT&T. We apologize for Thursday's outage, which may have impacted you. As a valued customer, your connection matters and we are committed to doing better.” I had the thought the other day that maybe this was a hack and that they didn’t want to admit such. I’m sure FirstNet being taken over by hackers isn’t exactly the message they want out there. Regardless of what the actual cause was, their lack of communicating anything meaningful is saying something which boosts the chances that this was a hack in my mind. Agreed on the human error thing, but maybe the human error was something the hackers did that they didn’t mean to.

Where did you see this? Erik Prince was on the PBD podcast saying he has a 70% chance in his head it was China. I tend to learn towards human error from my experience in the IT biz.

aside from the official pablum that was released about an “incorrect process used” (which says exactly nothing) does anyone actually know anything accurate and more specific about the root cause?
(and why it took 11 hours to recover?)

From what I've read, they lost their database of SIM cards. I could be wrong of course.

As widespread as it seemed to be, it feels like it would be quite a trick if it were a single piece of hardware. Firmware load that ended badly, I wonder?
