Mass cyber attack happening right now Australia

a reply to: Hypntick

Now this issue is spreading worldwide, it really called into question how all systems are relying on a sole vendor for updates.

Seems worldwide you can add Switzerland to the list...

Lol, well at least it wasn’t a trencher ripping up a fibre optic cable.

Msm are blaming the Crowdstrike update, which means it's mere coincidence that yesterday CHAPS banking payments went down?

Probably is, but it's a little kooky

That’s worrying I’ve seen hot pours go wrong on YouTube. When things are computer controlled and go wrong I’d run

For once and it pains me to say its not The Cult of Gates' fault.
Crowdstike pushed out an update thats bricking machines.

This is big. Many are still sleeping and are unaware. But it's amazing albeit not surprising how vulnerable we all really are. I guess Crowdstrike really earned it's name.

Can anyone say 'dry run', just for the record? There will be a few eyes opened from this and I'm sure, some big changes. But my question is, where's the protection against this? Cuz I'm not seeing it.

There are some problems going on with the banks. Started at about 3-5pm today. About 3-4 hours ago from posting this. Know one person that had a short term issues with efpos yesterday. Been people writing down IOU's, cash is getting used a lot more.

From my bank logging on, that still works.

We are aware of a large-scale technical outage affecting a number of companies.

CommBank services are still available including NetBank, the CommBank app, CommBiz, merchant payments and our ATMs.

www.bitchute.com... From redacted they have been practicing a cyber attack for years and are working it so anyone they pick on can be blamed to start a war with, the strange thing is Russia has been in on the drills . This journalist has a load of leaked documents, and thinks that was why Julian Assange was locked up for so long.

For any IT folks having the issues, so far the following fix from crowdstrike has been working for us. Some others at our company, have been rebooting several times in order for their machines staying connected long enough to get the reverted update.

Interesting! I'd assumed yesterday that the CHAPS issue may be designed to make people more receptive to CBDC rollout, using the message that CBDCs don't fail like this. However, todays events are more than CBDC and the 2 issues being just a day apart is hard to ignore and write off as coincidence

I think I would pay money just to hear you talk. I have the voice in my head, up there, Crocodile Dundee would ask you to repeat yourself because he didn't catch the accent.

Tracks are being covered as we speak. Somebody needed this level of outage to get some critical scrubbing done.
I wonder who?
And pertaining to what?

Word is National Australia Bank has been hacked. There internet services are down while the other banks still have some functionality.

Just occurred to me wonder what else might be happening in the world today that this outage could conveniently distract us from 🤔
