Earlier that week there was a humungous telco outage at Optus in Australia too. All (mobile?) services down for almost 24 hours and they still dont know what caused it. A few days later, this happens at the ports. May or may not be linked.
It could be a state player that doesnt want Australia and China to trade... USA perhaps?
- plugger 3y agoThe Optus outage was in the order of 8-9 hours and was a core network fault off the back of a bodged upgrade rolled out in the middle of the night. It's completely unrelated to China, the United States, or geopolitics in general. Optus has laid off a lot of engineers since Covid and those decisions are starting to have knock on effects.
