Here's one for anyone curious about the technical ins and outs of why Telstra's network went down. Andrew Colley and Juha Saarinen provide as detailed an explanation as you're likely to find in any Australian media outlet:

“Swinburne University #Professor #AllisonKealy, an expert in #positioning, #navigation and #timing, told the ABC she had raised this exact scenario when she approached Telstra earlier this year while seeking support for a proposed critical #infrastructure #resilience #research centre.

Professor Kealy said the pitch to #telcos and other critical infrastructure operators was that they needed to identify shared points of failure before an outage exposed them.”

"We have been approaching all the critical infrastructure sectors to tell them, we have to act now,"

Sudden #Telnet Traffic Drop. Are #Telcos Filtering Ports to Block Critical #Vulnerability?

Telcos likely received advance warning about January's critical Telnet vulnerability before its public disclosure, according to threat intelligence biz GreyNoise.

The flaw, a decade-old bug in GNU #InetUtils telnetd with a 9.8 #CVSS score, allows …

I wish Spectrum Cable were on here so I could blast their butts. I finally unpacked their suitcase-sized box with a "new, faster" modem today. After taking the shrinkwrap off, I found that mine was pre-broken. 🤬 The box was the size of a suitcase, & looked perfect when FedEx delivered it. It was also mostly empty space. I'm really glad I don't work for them anymore. We also need *more choices* in ISPs. #SpectrumCable #cableModem #Spectrum #Charter #busted #telcos #cable #ISPs #tech
