Optus Outage Outrage: When Too Many Routers Rout a CEO’s Reign
The “Optus Network Outage Consequences” were no laughing matter but here’s a light-hearted take: “Optus CEO exits stage left after a disastrous outage turned Australia into a sea of refresh buttons. The villain? Overzealous routers and a Singaporean parent company. The plot twist? Their disaster plan didn’t include a…disaster. Who’s writing this script?”
Hot Take:
It's a classic case of "too many cooks spoil the broth." In the world of cybersecurity, "too many routers cause an outage" is the equivalent. Optus CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin has hung up her executive boots after a massive service outage left millions of Aussies clicking refresh buttons and cursing their screens. Who's to blame? Apparently, Singtel, the parent company from Singapore, and some overworked routers. Moral of the story: Always have a backup plan, and perhaps don't rely so much on overseas tech.Already a member?
