Australia suffered a telecommunications failure on the 11th, the network was cut off nationwide, cash registers and ATMs went on strike one after another, and banks and supermarkets were "stupid" one after another. The most frightening thing is that the ambulance dispatching center is also 'offline'. Fortunately, no one has been confirmed dead or injured.
[machine strike: manual counting busy] Australia suffered a national network outage on the 11th, lasting for several hours. After the crisis was relieved, Australian Telecom issued a 'peace notice': telecom services are gradually recovering, and at least several major customers have been online again! The implication is that small customers need patience and so on. However, the largest telecom operator in Australia did not elaborate on the cause of the drop and the type of failure, resulting in speculation. Suddenly fell into the situation of network disconnection. Major banks and supermarkets in Australia were unable to collect and transfer accounts. Financial institutions such as Commonwealth Bank of Australia, National Bank of Australia, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group complained that their ATMs and payment systems could not operate. Woolworth group, Australia's largest seller of food and daily necessities, was forced to "return to nature": the automatic checkout system went on strike and had to be counted manually. The supermarket immediately lined up to check out and counted the money.
[pacify the public: no delay in first aid!] Reuters reported that this is not the first time that Australian Telecom has caused a network outage crisis. In 2016, Australia was paralyzed by Internet or telecommunications services six times. Some media comments: it's too embarrassing. Banks and supermarkets are jammed, which is disturbing enough. What's more frightening is that the ambulance dispatching center also interrupted its service due to network disconnection. On the 11th, the ambulance dispatching center in New South Wales, Australia, suffered a network outage. The agency quickly contacted Australian Telecom to re launch as soon as possible. The dispatching center later released a message to appease the people, saying that no patients were delayed in first aid. As of late in the day, many banks and supermarkets have confirmed the gradual restoration of networking. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia said on social media on the evening of the 11th that some financial services have been restored. Thank customers for their patience; As for when other financial services will recover, 'our telecom providers are still busy'
