What Foxtel channels are affected? Other than Sky news?

This is Crowdstrike antivirus on Windows platforms, not a Microsoft caused issue.

Noticed on the Hubbl that UKTV, FOX8 and several others were down with an apology message but some kids channels were ok like Dreamworks and Boomerang.

So far I haven’t seen any 5PM news updates from 10. Could go national or not at all tonight?

Seven still local in Melbourne.

Foxtel must run UKTV as it’s displaying the Foxtel branded downpage on Fetch.

Are we expecting Nine Sydney to Melbourne’s News?

Can confirm that we have CrowdStrike and yes that is the caused. Our emails are down so we are leaving work early to get coffee and cake for the it guys.

Wow! :melting_face:

Like the 2021 hack, I think Melbourne will take over national coverage until systems are back online.

Seven managing to get in an obligatory cross to airport chaos.

WIN (in VIC at least) went to Tipping Point at 4.30, so I’d say their local news will still air tonight.

If anything changes in the next hour I suspect they will crash into Nine’s feed at 5.30, showing the second half hour of Tipping Point all over again.

That’s what I was checking too! Was going to see if we’d get WIN News at 5:30.

Kmart Devonport has closed early - not sure about others. Anybody know about the banking and EFTPOS for food? We were going to be having our weekly take away meal tonight!
