someone fucked up a bgp entry, which took their AS offline, and because all their badge readers phone home over IP, and use a name, that name became inaccessible, so they couldnt get into buildings, and allegedly they had to use an angle grinder to cut into a datacenter cage, to get at the machine they had to access in order to fix the bgp error.

insane comedy of errors.
