Wow that's fucked up. The guy is tearing apart everything the western world believes in. I live beside the People's Republic of the United States of America.

If you were using an important password on any of those sites, yeah.

Any site reporting this is basically using it as a time to say something like, 'it's probably a good time to just change passwords up and make sure you're using 2 factor auth.' Not bad advice, especially since this is basically proof that nothing is immune to this type of event.
Can anyone explain an extremely weird network experience I had earlier today?
1) My ISP text they have do an emergency shutdown for a few hours so internet will be down. 2) It shuts down as expected. 3) During this "downtime" I can some reason still connect to some german sites.
How the heck is that possible? Isn't everything supposed to run through my ISPs servers?

ISPs can have different routing for different traffic. For example my previous ISP used to piggyback on 3-4 different companies so international traffic went through a different infrastructure to the local stuff. It's possible that the "shutdown" was something funky and still left some routes up. Might be another explanation though.
