Calling BS on the excuse why it went down. Enterprise DC (Data Centers - colos) especially in CA are redundant due to best practices around disaster recovery. A commercial DC like this will have on site electrical generation. Along with a minimum of two power providers. There is also redundency in the cooling systems.
What I would be interested in is the data archival. There should be Full data backups going back a minimum of a year (bare min) along with daily weekly monthly. All of the bots and related activity I woiuld think would be able to be captured or evidence of said activity be seen.
My reading comprehension was bad with your post, the whole down for a week doesnt make sense. From a DR perspective, a site like this and I am sure that they're internally supported versus outsourced, they would fail over to their warm (not temp but running spare) site as a DR fail over. That I can see but cannot see a DC- Colo (I am sure that Twitter is running in a 3rd party DC - Colo) in San Jose being down for a week. Very few enterprise class companies of this calibre run their own DC's most rent cage space in colo dc's. So a DC- Colo being down for a week means that multiple other companies would be down. Doesnt happen and if it does, it's major news. DC Colos are redundant and hardend, especially in CA due to the seismic activity. Multiple feeds to the demark, redundant power providers - Condiitoned power with battery backup - onsite power generation with a min of 30 days of on site diesel to run it. DC's dont go down for a week and not make all kinds of down stream noise.
Tell me you don't know anything about Mudge and his knowledge/integrity without telling me you don't know anything about Mudge and his knowledge/integrity.
I am watching this live right now, but I knew when I saw the announcement that Mudge would not be like the other big-tech morons CONgress brings in to testify. He (so far) isn't even being badgered. For the most part they are letting him answer questions instead of rapid-firing questions to appease their base. It is interesting.
This guy is legit. He's been in the scene for decades and is incredibly well-respected and is one of the very few hacker/cracker/security people that have managed to cross over and speak to the corporate/government world while maintaining his credibility with both sides.
No worries. It spurred me to comment on Mudge, which is a good thing. I think a lot of us look at people testifying before CONgress and think it will be a scam and nothing will happen. This one is different. Sure nothing may happen still (CONgress cons) but attention should be paid to the Mudge part of this.
Again no biggie. You weren't brash, and tbh I could've been considered brash myself by using meme language. Both of them were funny and innocent.
I was in that scene for a few decades myself. In fact one of the very well-known companies I worked at wouldn't let me and my team hire Mudge to work with our penetration testing team. We had ex NSA/Military/CIA and other higher-profile people that our customers trusted because of our past clearances and missions. They thought having Mudge would scare our customers so they wouldn't let us hire him. Some of my long-term customers were pretty pissed because of that.
My hope is that something actually happens. Mudge has testified to CONgress before and is well respected. His testimony was damning. I'm rewatching it now to see which bombshells are important. I couldn't watch it all earlier because of meetings I had.
Both parties brought up some good stuff, like the hackers a few years ago that took over Obama's and Biden's accounts for a crypto scheme, the amount of data Twitter has and the sheer amount of employees that can easily access that data, and the lack of regulations on a platform that can have national security ramifications. Mudge scared the hell out of many of them with valid and easy-to-understand cyber issues including hacking, foreign agents, CCP influence, a lack of centralized logging, etc. He even dumbed stuff down so the Senators could understand.
I think this will lead to changes. They will end up getting massive fines (I'm gonna guess between 100 and 500 million dollars). I think they will get hammered with audits. I also think this could lead to a Twitter shutdown while issues get fixed. The fact that they don't have a dev environment to test anything is just stupid. They do everything in production. I also think there will be a board shakeup or at least a new CEO.
This could become one of the very few CONgressional hearings that was actually worth the time and money to have. I do wish each senator would get 10 minutes instead of 6. That would keep some of them from feeling rushed and missing good follow-up from the witness. Especially when so many of them have no idea about much of the stuff being discussed.
I would like to see text transcripts of the hearing, but I suggest if you have time go watch the hearing at This Link.
Twitter's entire datacenter went down last Monday and they didn't inform anyone else company wide until Friday? Calling bullcrap on that.

I had similar thoughts but maybe they just suck at it.
Any datacenter team I know would be scrambling to get it back up. A week+ down is crazy.

Yeah that's why this makes no sense, even if they have 2-3 other supporting DCs.
Yeah that's something people would notice lol

Do they really have a 'Fear and Greed' Index monitor? WTH is that for? To let the globalists know the sheep need prodding into the pen?
Yes because it's never gotten hot in California before.
And that’s how you build a narrative to use months of not years down the road, in case Elon finds anything…
mockingbird is still clown-controlled. Let's hope the new CEO stays alive.
