A global tech outage has forced some Australian supermarkets to revert to cash transactions, as millions of people wait for the issue that’s affecting retailers, banks, airports and other businesses to be fixed. Shoppers at Coles and Woolworths have been posting pictures on social media of closed self-service checkouts, and are being asked to pay with cash.
“When this happens more and more, how are people going to buy food, how are people going to pay their bills,” said “It worries me, for my kids, for their future, our future how it’s going to be life-threatening events where you need to get internet access.” The outage is linked to computer security company CrowdStrike and Microsoft. Tech experts said too many updates were pushed out at once and the volume caused systems to crash globally.
