Some people are suggesting there may be a malicious actor at work, after multiple business have been struck with this in such a short space of time.

It’s also possible the affected business all use a common payment handling software which is experiencing issues.

Wonder if there’s some third party software that they’re all using that’s having a rough few days, or has been updated and broken something?

Everything is working fine why do we need IT staff?

I thought this as well.

The bosses have decided they don’t need to pay anyone to maintain their money-printing machines?

my headcanon on this is delayed leap-day bugs from february 29th, only showing up just now
