For a software engineer’s perspective- this isn’t a glitch. If it was just a glitch then it would have failed at some point in time before now Also, systems don’t take that long to reboot- 10-15 minutes max. Even if it’s due to a central server going down, it would have mirrored clustered load balancing backups ready to go for a system of this magnitude in importance.
You'd be surprised at the antique systems much of our infrastructure runs on. I'm not sure about this one, but others run on obscure hardware with software written in Cobol which is pretty much only taught in India now.
True. A large portion of grocery/retail chains run off of old AS/400 or Mainframe systems running COBOL or RPG.
Sounds like a great way to take down a countries antiquated system that refused to update the infrastructure.
