    As a techie in this sort of work (Not for Optus), I can only commiserate with the engineers running around trying to restore this. I’ve never had an incident make the news, though that’s more due to luck than anything.

    Coming up on 12 hours downtime, now. This is costing millions. And that’s before we get to part where retail customers leave over this and cost them more.

      from what I could see there were two stages - the DNS shat out, and the cellular service.

      these two should…not be related. I have concerns.

      Yep - will be pouring one out for the Optus network admins tonight. Poor buggers - long day, and no doubt and even longer night ahead.

        And then we get to the head-hunting part of the game where we blame someone.
        Who’s fault is this?!?!”.

          Yep - would be interesting to be a fly on the wall when the duck and cover phase gets going.

          The bin chicken - no meaningful consequences last time around - why not now?
