DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

[Altitudinous]

It appears DishAnywhere is down as well. The website loads up but won't let you login and the app tried loading but the wheel keeps spinning around and around.

Maybe they switched internet providers to Dish 5g

Sounds like Ransomware.

ETA, impressed the signal is still up though. So must be on its own system, somehow?

Yep and I still cannot figure out why Dish debited me for payment when I never made a payment and don't have autopay set up then reversed it today. Something doesn't smell right at all.

No need... If that were the case the business newshounds would be all over it.

Sat TV is working, DishAnywhere is working on my phone and Firestick but not on my laptop. MyDish is down everywhere. I think that pretty much indicates technical issues somewhere.

Same here, DA app is working on my Fire tablet, but the DA url on my PC is not.

Mystery is over. DISH was installing a red recording light on a certain unnamed SatGuys member's receiver and it threw the system into overload. Be careful what you ask for.

That makes no sense though. a) How can they get into a chat when their system and internet is down, and b) why would they no inform customers prior of an update being done and/or at least post something on social media sites? Someone in charge should be able to do that via their home internet directly to the Dish facebook page..

Because this likely wasn't an update, but rather a catastrophic failure (or ransomware). According to Scott, people were being told not to come to work! That tells me, the computer system is hosed. I'm curious how the chat bot knows the lines and website are down. Though, that could be an automated ping thing.

That was an order to DISH from his SOWMBO

 

[dishdude]

That chat service is probably outsourced and hosted by a third party.

We’ve decided we prefer more of a Puce or Mauve LED.




SWMBO says somebody might need to do a spell check on their post…..

Isitdown.com says Dish.com just came back up. I looked again to confirm and it now says it just went back down.
