MSE News: HSBC customers hit by online banking outage

Pincher

For some reason. they really like to make people redundant just before Christmas. Human Resource gets a head count to make redundant, and they just hack away with no clue what they are doing.


I expect somebody was manually load balancing the system to keep it going, despite chronic under funding, and ever increasing traffic. Made him redundant in December, the system load was light over new year, and then the traffic shoots up as people get back to normal.


Just being bitter and twisted.

@people thinking the alternative link I provided is not safe:

As the Internet Banking is now working OK go to the standard HSBC homepage (without the "saas"), log-in normally and once you can see your accounts see what's in your browser's address bar...

I don't think that people were having a go at you, or even saying that the link you gave wasn't safe, per-se.
The point is that if a random stranger (that's who you are to us) on the internet gives you a link to go to and suggests that you put in your internet banking details, it's not a good idea to do so.
