     @bastardsheep It was definitely "cyber", and it was definitely an "incident". The only inference I can make here is that it has nothing to do with "security"...

     Interesting to hear the Cyber director calling the big outage "not a cyber security incident".

     It is affecting news media, banking, economic activity, transport and other industries on a massive scale. The damage will be quite big.

     I understand that it's not a "hacking" incident, but it does seem to be showing up a major flaw in connected systems.
