Nigerian ISP Menon says that Google services were interrupted due to configuration error

A Nigerian Internet Service Provider said on Tuesday that the configuration error caused during the network upgrade has caused major Google services, interruption in China and Russia as the reason for routing traffic.

earlier to the explanation of Menon on Tuesday, there was speculation that Monday’s 74-minute data abduction could be deliberate. Google’s search, cloud hosting, and G-suite affiliate business equipment were interrupted.

Incorporated traffic can make offline offline services available and can provide espionage and financial theft. They can also be used to block access to information by sending a data request to the Internet black hole. Experts say that, in particular, China has systematically kidnapped and the US has been abducted. Internet traffic has changed.the problem can also result from human error….Asshu said that Menon had the main West African ISP with him. He said that engineers wrongly forwarded Google services to China Telecom address which was considered to be local. In return, the Chinese company sent the transit of Russia to a major Internet presence with bad data. Ashiru said that Menon did not understand why China Telecom did this because the state-operated company generally does not allow Google traffic on its network.                                                             

Most network traffic to Google services – 94 percent as of Oct. 27 – is encrypted, which shields it from prying eyes even if diverted. But work was interrupted on services like G-Suite, which Google CEO Sundar Pichai in February said had more than 4 million businesses as customers. G-Suite and Google Cloud combined generate about $4 billion in revenue each year.  Actually, the incident has happened before. When an Indian provider stumbled in 2015, Google was briefly afflicted. Perhaps in the most famous case, Pakistan Telecom has abducted global traffic on YouTube for a few hours in 2008 when it was trying to impose a domestic ban. It sent all YouTube traffic to a virtual ditch in Pakistan.
