Could be something, could be nothing, but today we were unable to submit any financial information to any of the major banks networks.
Small credit unions and local institutions seem to be operating fine, but all of the major banks we work with had their systems offline today.
Amazon's web services crashed apparently
Many of these institutions don't rely on AWS for this type of activity, it's more broad than just AWS
I was at walmart for an hour today just trying to return something.
They straight up shut off the lights in the customer service dept because they couldn't get the system to process any refunds. After them rebooting their system a couple times, I said screw it and left
Could just be the one walmart though.
It boggles my mind anyone on GAW can even walk into a Choynese Walmart.
Unfortunately, its the only place around that won't charge you an arm and a leg to replace a watch battery. And their clothes are 30-40% cheaper than, say, Kohls or Meijers.
But I hate it too. The one that was closest to my old house was like a mall in and of itself. This one? It doesn't even have ice cream. Blehhh I'm ordering everything online now anyway since everything is out of stock in-store.
Got something on your chin there.
Stop being a cheap cunt and go to a real watch repair shop and support a real business. Fuck.
Stop being such a patronizing bastard. Many small towns do not have watch repair shops.
Not an excuse to support china. I sent my watch to Germany to get repaired properly. No one local has the parts.
I'm not being cheap. I live on a budget. Maybe you haven't in so long you forget what its like. And all of the watch repair shops I've been able to find are closed because of covid. They went out of business, probably because our governor killed all the old people that still wear those metal watches from the 80s.
Yep! Amazon makes the majority of their money from AWS. Banks, governments (particularly US military and alphabets) etc.
And it isn't cheap. I was running my project's devsecops pipeline on AWS Govcloud, and for basically 11 servers and a handful of workstations, it was $5k/month. I could have bought all those assets for that price and saved my program so much money, but the Government is run by morons and we HAD to use AWS. The Government is paying the bill, but effing morons.
nah WE are paying for that .... to enrich bastards like Bezos and others.
If you are some project leader you should have noted that in your report. Just a little asterix note, little by little some big shot would notice and see where is this going if multitude of gov. sec. start seeing woods from the three .
and with fucking Billy the gatekeeper
Yes, we had issues too.
Yep, a company whose software I work with uses AWS, and the whole thing was down for several hours this morning (Pacific time).
Wen moon?
QFS taking over?
Possibly... If that were occurring, then I would imagine it would look something like this.
Never in my career have I seen every major institution go down all day long, billions in revenue were not processed globally today, that's for sure.
I'm a bit out of touch but I've worked on bank networks and have to agree, this is unprecedented.
I also helped build and design a bank network including site resilience, there isn't any single point of failure I can think of even for two banks, let alone multiple.
Unprecedented for sure, we're talking about dozens of the largest banks in the world being down all day long across all systems, never seen anything like this
Agree, worked for top 3 IT Firm and have spent 15 plus years in FinTech. A backhoe incident can take out multiple branches, but at this level, it's unprecedented. It will be interesting to see the RCA on this. Shouldn't be any SPOFs that could result in wide scale outage of this caliber. It's been a couple of years since I left, but the whole point of amazon hosting, was the redundancy. As far as a SLA, most of those are sitting at 4 9999's. It will be interesting to see if someone made a career move out the front door with an unauthorized change that f'd up something.
This ties into comms from the crypto guys' trip to Antarctica. Antarctica = infiltration ops, and all the folks tweeting about Antarctica were crypto types. Penguins = Spies. Apparently India and Japan have recently put in blockchain infrastructure to track their currency, and this may tie in to SWIFT going entirely blockchain, if not crypto.
National currencies going blockchain could suck the wind out of cryptos.
In comments from Arnold Snyder, not the main article; scroll down. https://gab.com/Symbols/posts/107369048562352867. His comment page directly- https://gab.com/freenemo/comments His posts are interesting too, and hint about December 11 evergrande triggering international economic collapse.
Gab needs a sign in, but it's too much to copy, and spread out. But it fits QFS.
Speaking of comms there was an article this past weekend about an asteroid coming towards earth this week that they said would cause billions of dollars in damage if it hit. I thought it could be comms bc why talk about money figures. Never know
Thanks for the link to Arnold Snyder on Gab. I spent a couple hours last night reading through his posts, and while I rarely look at Gab, I bookmarked his profile so I can check it daily. I’ve yet to see anyone, anywhere that has such an understanding of what’s happening, as he appears to have.
Happy to help. We all do our part. The algos are manipulated to work directly contrary to truth, so if we don't actively share, we are lost. I don't do much digging (a bit on the medical side), but I do a lot of synthesizing. Gab is weird, and a lot can't be seen anywhere except comments. The decoding symbols guy has a lot of good commenters (among others) on both Gab and Telegram. Snyder seems insightful and sharp- guess that's what it takes to be a professional gambler.
There's another good thread on GA in the last few days about a big asteroid comm. It looks like a big hit to crypto coming in fast. And then there's this one too, which summarizes the impending crypto crash dynamic as well as Patel summarizes devolution, without comms or asset shilling. https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-12-07-decoded-the-globalist-plan-to-destroy-bitcoin-and-the-defi-crypto-ecosystem.html I think this is the trigger to the real financial crash that many are predicting.
Thanks for that link, I know practically nothing about crypto, but I’ve been reading similar about Tether, lately. I think (hope) the only thing wrong in this article is that the cabal will succeed with a central bank crypto. I’m hopeful that the alliance (Q, Trump, Putin, Xi, Kim Jong Un, MBS) will instead be able to use that opportunity to institute a new gold-backed crypto (Ripple?).
Ripple is a fine platform, but I think politically they're lined up with the globalists. If an asset-backed blockchain currency comes out, I think it will have to be something new. GME has its own blockchain system, and it would be poetic for that to be the one. There are a few others, but most are vulnerable to the same trust issue that bitcoin has. If you discover the answer, let me know.
Marge will be calling tommorow.
Maybe
That’s what I was thinking. One can dream!

How often do you see this? Is the SWIFT system down, or is this something else? Please post update when it comes back.
I've never seen a sweeping outage like this in my career.
We called the staff at some of the banks and they're acting like ALL of their systems are down.
SWIFT is down so small card swipe transactions couldn't be processed and their CUDL systems are down so loan applications can't be submitted either.
Complete outage, I will update when I see systems back online.
I can confirm IBAN transfers were down yesterday in Europe for couple of hours
Systems back up and running, money moving again today
If you follow comms, here's an interesting bunch of potentially relevant threads.
Many recent comms from the crypto guys' trip to Antarctica. Antarctica = infiltration ops, and all the folks tweeting about Antarctica were crypto types. Penguins = Spies. Apparently India and Japan have recently put in blockchain infrastructure to track their currency, and this may tie in to SWIFT going entirely blockchain, if not crypto.
National currencies going blockchain could suck the wind out of cryptos. Among other things.

New software installed to make tracking bank accounts easier?
And it's not the first time. Wish I'd paid more attention to when this happened but hubby went to the bank twice in one week about a month or so ago and signs on the door said they were closed, computers down or some shit.
Our small local bank announced use of debit cards would be offline from 9-11am today.
For most of the day? Tomorrow is the one year delta of Q's last post. Hmm.
B of a is up.
Not for loan applications or funding, they may have consumer facing sites up, but all their systems that actually move money are down
My company came back up right around 5:30 cst. We are AWS servers.
AWS servers are coming back online, but systems are still down and not accepting loan applications or funding requests
We went back down. Guess it's going to be a long night.
Fiserv uses AWS
This is more broad than AWS down, I'm talking about every major bank being down all day long, even their internal communications systems don't seem to be working
I remember when the CIO at one of the client's I use to consult at really pushed back at going to cloud (public) versus standing up their own private hybrid cloud. He was concerned on security, data integrity and his SLA. He got pushed out.
All eggs in one basket
RCA will be interesting
SLA taking me back to late 2000's buzz word
Exist today as well. Standard service management 101 crap, alone with KPIs.
theory: somebody entered the scene to read and gather transaction data ? 1 year delta.
Imagine this future:
For how long?
From 10 a.m. CST today and still currently happening
The social security site had major issues today also.
AWS was down world wide
Disney’s monetary system was down for a good chunk of the day
Was Fedwire down as well? There were a ton of financial computer issues yesterday alnow with Amazon AWS shitting the bed.
Received an international wire today within 30 min after being sent, 10am (swift).
My security cams went offline for about 4hrs. Something was up for sure.
I have family who are high level bankers and fraud experts.
Ill ask later.
My video game login stopped working. :)
I’m a loser, but also an engineer!
This is a bad thing for us right?
that is all because they wanted cheaper spying and tracking [centralisation]
That SHOULDA made her think twice about how "connected" she's made her home/life and how easily things can "go south" but guessing it didn't.
