File 002 | How the Internet Almost Broke Itself | One Mistake, One ISP, and a whole Internet Crisis

Описание: On November 12, 2018, a simple BGP configuration error at a small ISP in Nigeria sent the global internet into chaos. This is the untold story of the 90 minutes that nearly brought modern life to a halt.

In this Breakdown Files investigation, we trace how the internet's core routing protocol—meant to be unbreakable—was tricked by a single false instruction. See how data packets vanished, how global services from Google to banking faltered, and how engineers raced against a cascading failure to manually fix what automation broke.

This wasn't a hack or an attack. It was a fragile, hidden flaw in the trust between machines. A story of how our digital world is both resilient and unexpectedly fragile.
