AT&T big boo-boo
By: bizgrrl

AT&T says, oops! They're sorry.

"Based on our initial review, we believe that today’s outage was caused by the application and execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network, not a cyber attack."

Yowza, that is a pretty big coding error. Glad to never have been in charge of a team where a coding error could affect so many people.

As someone with extensive IT experience, I can almost guarantee the AT&T outage yesterday was over some certificate expiring somewhere and nobody knowing how to regenerate it because Carl got laid off seven years ago and the only machine with the keys decommissioned in 2019.
