[outages] Level3 Outage Causing Major Internet Issues

[Goltz, Jim (NIH/CIT) [E]]

Hadn't seen this here yet.  Apologies if it's out of place.

"There were widespread Internet outages and slowdowns on Monday after backbone provider Level3 Communications had a major outage, affecting some downstream providers and enterprises. The company has not put out a statement regarding the incident, but it does not appear right now as if there was an attack involved."
