Well one day. Well you can figure out the rest

Hmm. My bank isn't down. It doesn't work in Firefox anymore but does work in Chrome. I don't know if it is a caching issue but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the crowtrike or MS whoops-a-daisies.

Which explains the additional 13% stock price decline today.

How Do We Prevent This From Happening Again?

* Implement a staggered deployment strategy for Rapid Response Content in which updates are gradually deployed to larger portions of the sensor base, starting with a canary deployment.
* Provide customers with greater control over the delivery of Rapid Response Content updates by allowing granular selection of when and where these updates are deployed.
* Provide content update details via release notes, which customers can subscribe to.

All I know is that Astound was down starting last evening and finally came back up about mid day. Story is both the primary and backup fiber cables were cut by a 3rd party contractor installing power poles in 2 different locations. Now I understand why it took so freaking long. Thank goodness that I didn't sign up for their mobile phone deal, otherwise I would have nothing, I guess.
Back to the OP.
