    Quartz[^]:

    About half a million customers of the Australian fund UniSuper were locked out of their accounts for a week

    Sometimes The Cloud brings the rain

    "UniSuper had a backup account with another cloud provider" <-- I'm guessing that backup provider might just be the new primary provider. From another story about it, "UniSuper, an Australian pension fund that manages $135 billion worth of funds and has 647,000 members, had its entire account wiped out at Google Cloud, including all its backups that were stored on the service." Sure, this kind of thing happens when you host your own servers, but at least then you know who needs hitting with the fire hammer.

      This wouldn't have happened if they had put everything into crypto.

        I wonder what did the CFO to piss that much the google CTO :-D

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          Me thinks UniSuper will be shopping for another cloud provider.
