Only just about every company in the western world. What would you recommend that's better at enterprise level? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Any decent links for that. Always the first thought, however a Board exec has said it’s not a malicious attack, so that could be a fairly serious misrepresentation for a director otherwise*. Lots of reports saying 10’s thousands of users, however it must be much larger than that, seems to be impacting entire companies. Edit *usual poor journalism from the BBC Lamanna used the very important legal caveat ‘not aware of’ which they didn’t include. [Post edited 13 Nov 9:01]

| Anyone's Outlook down? (n/t) on 09:00 - Nov 13 | NthQldITFC | 999 services apparently being affected this morning. Don't know whether that's a direct technical problem, or given the start point delay just a backlog caused by other human-connected systems not working. We're so interconnected and vulnerable, not sure that we can reverse our way out of these sort of problems. |  |

I think it's worth remembering that these technical issues have happened since computing networking was a thing. It's not great there there are realistically only 3 providers people use (GCP, AWS, Azure) for cloud computing and that there is no European alternative. But these things happen whether you look after your own servers or not. |  |

999 services are a BT owned service. |  | |  |

Indeed, but the dependencies and reliance are so much bigger now, fallback systems dependent on similarly vulnerable infrastructure, attack methods (I know they're saying this is not a cyber attack at the moment) are more powerful, and intentions of attackers are heavily ramped up. 'These things happen' is true but that doesn't solve any problems, and the problems are bigger and wider due to the way we continue to embrace these dependencies. And so much of the language I hear from everyday people suggests that so many have absolutely no idea how to live without their tech. I'm not suggesting there is any realistic way of fixing it, by the way. |  |

Open minded. If it was, I suspect MS would initially say it wasn't. But it might not be. |  |

They aren't going to communicate that to joe public whilst in the middle of a critical incident situation. The will have a team working to completely rule that out. But to keep people calm, they will say what they have |  | |  |
