If anything is going to hit the British public hard, it’s a cyber attack on their Sausage rolls.

Someone should tell these cyberterrorists to space their IT attacks wider apart as this is simply causing too much inconvenience.

It's actually a genuis move. I can't be the only person who can't do an ounce if work once my pastie and sausage roll levels get dangerously low?
This could finally be the move that brings the full capitalist system crushing down

None of them were Cyberattacks though?

Incompetence over updates to critical systems that are now being reported in mainstream media after zero interest previously.

Recently I couldn’t gain access to a credit card account through banking app. It was as a result of an update by Barclays and not corrected until next update. Sloppy checking before implementation.

Only a small number of accounts were affected nationwide.

It’s incredible how that can happen really, considering the amount of sign offs that these changes go through.

It's a bit harsh to call it sloppy implementation of an update if it's only affecting a small number of users. Yes, it's massively inconvenient to anyone who is affected but there comes a point when whoever is managing software updates has to make a go-live decision, it's not possible to check all possible outcomes for all users, it would take the developers too long to check all possiblities.

Have any of these outages actually been confirmed as being caused by "software updates"? there are so many things that can go wrong in the chain of an IT network infrastructure, it could be anything from hardware failure to lost config settings after a power outage at a data centre. Many large corporate networks have large parts that are outsourced to cloud services nowadays too, it could've been something out of the companies control altogether.

Basically, IT infrastructures are getting ever more complex and "turning it off and back on again" is ever decreasingly becoming the go to fix to any IT issue!

Yes, confirmed as a failed update for at least two.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/mar/16/sainsburys-grocery-deliveries-h

"The supermarket chain was unable to fulfil the “vast majority” of its online orders after an overnight software update led to problems that affected some stores, grocery online services and its ability to contact customers."
