Administrators Popular Post AY Mod Posted July 19 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted July 19 There appears to be major worldwide IT outages affecting banks, IT systems, transport and broadcast services - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cnk4jdwp49et Obviously RMweb seems OK at present - fingers crossed. And, no, I don't know what's caused it - I didn't do anything. 1 2 16 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC: "We've contacted Crowdstrike for response but haven't heard back yet." No, they're probably a bit busy. 🤨 2 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was browsing, everything was fine, I hit the back button and whoomph there is was, and it was stuck on that screen. I thought RMWeb was down and only when I logged on later on my laptop did I discover it wasnt down at all and hadn't been down. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post cornelius Posted July 19 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted July 19 Have you noticed that we've only been experiencing major global IT outages since the closure of the Somerset & Dorset / end of steam on BR / conversion of municipal tramways to buses. I'm sure there's a correlation. 3 1 1 1 1 17 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibelroad Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 What with this and the Post Office scandal perhaps it’s time to consider if there is an over reliance on computers and their mass interconnection. One small fault and there is chaos. 1 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave I'd say the root of the problem (HW or SW products) is lack of rigorous testing and contingency / backup plans, because they're expensive. 6 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
