ā” Quick Hits
- A power outage at NIST's Boulder, Colorado campus has impacted the primary atomic time scale.
- Several Internet Time Service servers may be providing inaccurate time.
- Users relying on NIST's time servers should be aware of potential inaccuracies.
NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) has issued a warning regarding the accuracy of its Internet Time Service (ITS). According to the agency, a failure of the primary atomic time scale at its Boulder, Colorado campus has led to potential inaccuracies in several of its ITS servers. The Boulder servers "no longer have an accurate time reference".
This means that computers and other devices relying on these NIST time servers to synchronize their clocks may be displaying incorrect time. NIST is working to resolve the issue, but users should be aware of the potential for inaccuracies in the meantime.
