The failures behind Telstra's major network outage

a month ago by okwithmydecay to c/australia

Telstra has been in the regulatory microscope since a major outage in July created chaos across the country.

The outage was triggered by a software update not being done on a GPS card, which resulted in incorrect date information.

"Brady was among 10 senior executives whose bonus was cut as a result of the outage. Her total compensation was $6.8 million, 11 per cent more than the previous year."

We’re all in this together, struggling in this economy, right. We shouldn’t be pointing fingers. Some people blame the executives, but look at us, we’re suffering too! Without my bonus I’m going to have to have to pay over 2 years instead of buying outright that island in Fiji I was eyeing. Financial strain.

Anecdotally, since the outage myself and other people I know have continued having NTP issues with our phones, usually to do with Encryption not authenticating due to incorrect time synchronisation.
