False positive: probes returned HTTP 419 client errors (4 consecutive, 01:43-05:54 UTC Oct 27), but independent direct checks with a browser user-agent on 2026-10-27 ~11:05 PKT returned HTTP 200 with the full Hacker News front page twice. The site loads fine for real visitors; the 419s are a probe-request rejection, not a server outage. Same signature as incident 267, resolved the same way earlier today.

False positive (probe artifact): automated probes returned HTTP 419 client errors at 01:43 and 03:14 UTC Oct 27, but independent direct checks with a browser user-agent and plain curl returned HTTP 200 with the full Hacker News front page (3 checks, ~1s each) on Oct 27 ~08:35 PKT. No same-day outage reports found; HN stories were publishing normally during the window. The site is up for real visitors; the 419s were a probe-request rejection, not a server outage.
