HELLFIRE https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/17/zoom_outage_godaddy_blamed/ https://status.zoom.us/incidents/pw9r9vnq5rvk A bad mistake by GoDaddy took Zoom offline for almost two hours on Wednesday afternoon, US time. Zoom explained the situation in an incident report that opened with a 12:17 PDT (Pacific Time) update that advised customers “We are investigating domain name resolution issues on the zoom.us domain that is affecting multiple services.” Zoom later admitted the outage started at 11:25 PDT. We understand that video meetings hosted on Zoom were interrupted mid-stream, with “This site can’t be reached” or “Check if there’s a typo in zoom.us” errors appearing on-screen. … Cisco’s ThousandEyes observability outfit analyzed the incident and picked it as a DNS problem that meant top-level domain nameservers did not have the records for zoom.us. … Service returned at 13:55 PDT and resuming Zooming required users to use command line skills to flush their DNS caches. … Regards
px_eliezer_ Bizarre. Who the hell goes to Zoom by using Zoom.US rather than Zoom.COM I’ve never seen or heard of Zoom.US which seems to forward to Zoom.COM anyway.
Jbob px_eliezer_ It appears that the desktop App(Zoom Workplace) defaults to xxxx.zoom.us. There is an option to select .zoomgov.com or zoomgov.mil.
