I have so many stories that it would make people question everything, there's a reason why I sound so pessimistic all the time
This is why when people were hypothesizing things like cyber attacks...I was like no...the answer is actually a lot worse then that.
And the problem is systemic corporate and government internal corruption, it may have happened to Rogers now, but Interac, the defacto financial system in Canada for banking went down as a result of atrocious executive business decisions.
Frankly I think the level of incompetency that occurred with Interac as a result of an outage not related to their own system is 100 times worse then Rogers and all IT executive levels there should be fired. It's networking 101 to have redundancy and they failed one of the most basic tasks of network redundancy (Fido as a backup is not redundancy!)
Our Canadian infrastructure system is built on this frame. Our country is only a bad software update away from a total collapse and we just saw the results.
