What's this?

Interesting story developing: bad Border Gateway Protocol update....


...right before the outage.

Even more interesting: this update locked out remote access, so admins have to gain access physically to the machines. But badge readers are tied to the network as well, so they're down.

Thanks to reddit's u/ramenporn, who has since deleted his account, for sharing the BGP update. RIP, u/ramenporn.
