Title: Why has this not been more in the news?
Post by: poppo on February 15, 2012, 07:27:18 PM
Not sure if anyone else has noticed but the UPS site has been down most of the day. And from what little I have been able to find out, they are having big problems besides the web site. Not sure if they got hacked big time or what, but there has been nothing on the major news sites (or TV).  :103-

On a somewhat smaller scale - I noticed that Hotmail was out yesterday too.
I think it was last week I also saw some major car company get hacked into
and everyone's account info was comprised.
Amazing what happens in the computer world we live in now.

They have 3 data centers that are bunkers spread around the world, my wife worked in one, from what she told me this could not happen without a major problem, they are all redundant.

'a few days' is  BIG deal for someone like UPS. Especially if it goes beyond their web site tracking.

UPS is currently experiencing technical difficulties and delays, including tracking and finding locations on ups.com.

But not much else is working (i.e. links).

I ordered some LED replacement fixtures from kiesub last friday and couldn't track them, but they showed up today, so the packages are still moving and fast too. I got belly, topbox and denom lighting and they look really good :89- I was a little worried about the belly glass lighting and it works as good or better than the florescent that it replaced.
