Verizon said it would "work through the night until service is restored" and said it would provide "account credits" for any customer who lost service.

Verizon says a software problem caused the glitch and it is conducting a postmortem, but experts say outages are "a fact of life" these days.

X faces a significant outage affecting app and website access, with over 78,000 reports. Problems reported include issues with the app, website, and Grok AI chatbot functionality. No official response from X despite claims of operational systems on their status page.
