  • jazzer changed the title to Todays Sainsbury's IT glitch

First McDonakds then Sainsburys with their devious 2 for 1 offers 

Is this a cyber attack by the eating hackers ? 

What next, exposing the raw ingredients in KFC, stopping fish fryers remotely from reaching cooking temperature or redirecting takeaway food delivery's to homeless people (actually if hackers are reading this I take credit for the last idea) 

Maybe it's a prelude to an invasion cutting the public off from junk food so we all starve 🤔 

Only conspiracy nuts know the truth 🤣

Hmm, Let's see, started with Meta a few weeks ago, then we had Microsoft, then McDonalds and Now Sainsbury's and Tesco... Probably others I've forgotten about as well.

Somehow I doubt this is a coincidence.  

People say you can go cashless..., but you clearly can't if you want people to be able to pay when technology breaks down, is ddosed or whatever.

I'm right 

Today its Greggs that's down 🫣

It's not hackers.

There are new PCI-DSS regulations coming into force at the end of March - so all retailers are scrambling to have their devices/infrastructure compliant by the deadline.

Thanks for that explanation.  Are any of the computing industry papers/journals covering the system admin errors and why they occuurred?

[ETA:] I gather it's a worldwide industry standard rather than a regulation.  See eg:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Card_Industry_Data_Security_Standard.  Assuming the standard amendment is indeed the underlying cause, which I guess is likely, it would be interesting and useful to know whether merchants, retailers, etc in other countries have experienced similar system failures in  incorporating the amendments.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
