Interesting thread. My theory is that there is some zero-day javascript vulnerability that was discovered and used by someone to hack a bunch of sites that all use it. Looks like a huge mess, and tons of sites only have partial connectivity (pictures won't load, or one login won't work), which is very strange.

It's interesting compared with Venezuela having their power just go out... and I just had a power guy come by my house randomly today asking to inspect the smart meter for corrosion. Took him 30 seconds, shut off my power for 2 seconds, says I'm good for another 3-5 years. Didn't think much of it but in combination with the Venezuela outage and all these websites having outages, I have to wonder.

This much disrupted electrical activity, and malfunctioing servers across many websites, seems like a solar storm event to me, because that's exactly what would happen if we had a huge solar storm. But solarham.com says everything is clear and silent coming from space. So I guess unless solarham is faking data, it's coming from Earth. Which means it was probably a hack.

Heck I guess probably even the smart meter runs javascript or something. Maybe the electrician was uploading new firmware to prevent against this hack. Or maybe it's unrelated and I'm connecting things that are just coincidence.

But all these huge internet companies having partial server outages at once is extremely strange. It has to either be a space radiation event, or some type of hack. I can't imagine anything else that would affect so many huge internet companies simultaneously.

It's also interesting it only seems to be affecting the big companies. Saidit hasn't been affected at all. That also points to a hack rather than a geomagnetic storm.
