  @QBCCIntegrity @Telstra CFO identified the root cause as a software defect in time-keeping nodes that manage network synchronization, triggered by a faulty firmware update causing clocks to reset by roughly 20 years, with no evidence of cyberattack or external interference.

  Australia's biggest telecom outage in years has raised serious questions. Millions of Telstra users lost mobile service, payments were disrupted, transport was affected, and even emergency calls were impacted. Telstra says it was caused by a software defect—not a cyberattack—but many are asking: How can a single software failure cripple critical national infrastructure? An official investigation is now underway.

  @QBCCIntegrity @Telstra The national emergency alert system is due for testing- I’m sure it’s just a coincidence

  @Ausbobsmit Perhaps Telstra should have informed the minister they were going to have an outage FFS its a private organisation these days and has obligations to provide a service but technical issues happen beyong the control of anyone

  @7_columns @Andrew_McCallum If you listened to her, the government mandated after the Optus issue, that with emergencies, the people using the network that is down, should be switched to a working network. She said she wanted to test that her phone went to Optus if Telstra didn’t work. It didn’t, and that is important.
