Heads Up! Massive DNS Failure Takes Over 30,0000 Websites Offline

At least 30,000 websites are down worldwide. 

⚡️MAJOR INTERNET OUTAGE: 

Multiple websites have GONE OFFLINE including Delta Air Lines, British Airways, Amazon and AT&T and dozens more.
Most of the commercial segment of the Internet in the US has stopped working due to Akamai experiencing an ongoing DNS issue  .

There appears to be a major DNS, or Domain Name System failure that began shortly after 1100ET.
DNS acts as the phone directory of the internet, translating names of websites into IP addresses. 

United States: Several communication, financial, and transportation software outages reported through America

Outages being reported include:
- AT&T (911 system)
- US Bank
- Chase Bank
- Discover
- Capital One
- American Express
- UPS
- Southwest Airlines 

Red flag.... test run for the great switch:)
