Industry experts explain that the root of these disruptions often lies in failures within the complex internal mechanisms that enable seamless connectivity. Specifically, issues comparable to a failure in a "translation service" — systems responsible for authenticating and connecting different parts of the network — can cause vast shutdowns.
In this case, the problem originated in an East Coast service center, possibly in Virginia, where a failure in the interconnection or handshake process between systems caused identification issues. This malfunction prompted a cascade of failures that propagated globally, affecting users and businesses across multiple regions, from the UK to Taiwan.
