  • 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.

    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate? 
    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.   
    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
