Everything is affected. Its Gaia(Google Auth) outage, most probably.

The nature of this downtime is quite severe. How are Googlers resolving this if their internal communications are down?
There are other ways to deliver packets... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
There is IRC as backup
I recall that their SREs use IRC?
Yep. At least some of the teams do.
not hangouts? allo? duo?
I don't think Allo and Duo are products designed for use in teams/organizations, or marketing themselves as such.
Good ole phone calls is my guess
I can't login to anything via Google Auth this morning.

It reports error that my Google Account can't be found. I thought my account had been deleted!

This is bad opsec
