Unfortunately my work systems weren't affected. Teams still worked no matter how hard I tried....

The 2 main questions that SKY should be asking is, what happened to testing this release ? And why a third party software can bring down a whole operating system if it goes wrong ?

Imagine how different the news would be if the exact same thing happened, but it were a Russian or Chinese firm instead?

Did they try turning it off and on again

I just love the BSOD everywhere lol seeing that technology is supposed to be robust lol

That apology from Cyber strike has been deemed as weak , in fact , exceptionally weak

I thought that prince Harry narrates Sky News now😅

I'd say next time invest in QA testers but I don't think their customers will give them a next time now.
