Optus outage in Australia: What we know about the fatal triple-0 emergency call failures
Optus is under intense scrutiny following a 13-hour emergency services outage that resulted in four deaths and hundreds of failed triple-zero calls. A network firewall upgrade triggered the failure, and internal protocols were not followed, delaying the response. This incident, coupled with past failures, has prompted government investigations and raised serious questions about Optus' accountability, potentially leading to significant fines.
