ATT Outage: Investigation Uncovers Root Cause
Incorrect Application Execution Blamed for Massive Disruption
FBI and DHS Launch Probe into Network Failure
After a widespread outage left countless AT&T customers without mobile service, the company has finally acknowledged the root cause of the massive disruption. An initial review conducted by AT&T suggests that the outage was triggered by the deployment of an incorrect application.
The outage, which occurred on Thursday, affected customers across the country, leaving many without the ability to make or receive calls or access the internet. Service was restored by the afternoon, but the impact on AT&T's reputation has yet to be fully assessed.
Federal agencies, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, have launched an investigation into the outage to ensure that it was not caused by a cyberattack. AT&T has assured the public that their initial assessment indicates that the outage was not the result of malicious activity.
T-Mobile and Verizon reported that their networks were unaffected by the AT&T outage. Customers who were affected by the outage have been encouraged to contact AT&T for assistance or updates on the situation.
The investigation into the outage is ongoing, and AT&T has promised to provide further updates as they become available. In the meantime, customers are urged to stay informed and contact their service provider for the latest information on the network's status.
