[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4222442, member: 5412"] [HEADING=1]What caused the AT&T outage?[/HEADING] As it turns out, the reason for the outage could be one of simple human error: bad coding. "Based on our initial review, we believe that (Thursday's) outage was caused by the application and execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network, not a cyber attack, a spokesperson from [URL='https://about.att.com/pages/network-update']AT&T said on the company's website[/URL]. "We are continuing our assessment of today’s outage to ensure we keep delivering the service that our customers deserve."

It's too easy to do offline tests of codes that bring up bugs needing fixed, but this is the story currently. [/QUOTE]
