Ladies and Gents – I believe WLBOTT<\/strong> needs to take responsibility for cratering the internet vs CrowdStrike. I think our post about anchovies directed so much traffic to our site, that the internet Floundered<\/strong> from all the Carping<\/strong>. Some on the internet want to put our heads on a Pike<\/strong>, but we can redeem ourselves by examining our Soles<\/strong> and not getting in a Roe<\/strong> about it.<\/p>\nUC#3<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We take partial responsibility. No raindrop ever feels responsible for the flood, but we acknowledge our part in the unusually heavy traffic.

Troy Hunt, a leading cybersecurity consultant, said the scale of the IT failure was unprecedented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is basically what we were all worried about with Y2K, except it\u2019s actually happened this time,\u201d he added, referring to the millennium bug that worried IT experts in the run-up to 2000 \u2013 but ultimately did not cause serious damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
