Local media reported that train services in the state of Victoria were grounded and emergency call services could not be patched through.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/networking\/what-on-earth-happened-to-cloudflare-last-week\/\" rel=\"follow\">What on earth happened to Cloudflare last week?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Services resumed progressively more than six hours after the outage occurred and were fully restored 12 hours later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!----><\/p>\n<p>Optus has blamed the outage on a &#8220;technical network fault&#8221; but would not provide further details until it conducts a &#8220;full, thorough, root-cause analysis&#8221; of the incident. It has said, though, that there was no evidence pointing to a cyber attack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/minister.infrastructure.gov.au\/rowland\/media-release\/post-incident-review-following-optus-outage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">statement<\/a> released the next day, Australia&#8217;s Minister for Communications Michelle Rowland said Thursday the government would be launching a post-incident telecommunications review into the network outage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She noted that industry regulator Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) also has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acma.gov.au\/updated-acma-statement-optus-outage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">started its own assessment<\/a> to determine if Optus had remained in compliance with rules mandating that emergency calls are successfully carried from mobile carriers to the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acma.gov.au\/acma-statement-optus-outage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">emergency call person<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-vpn\/\" rel=\"follow\">The best VPN services you can buy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Describing the disruption as &#8220;particularly concerning,&#8221; Rowland said, &#8220;It is critical the industry and governments take stock following large-scale outages, given no network is immune.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The review aims to glean lessons from the incident and to help telcos improve post-outage processes, she added. &#8220;The industry overall needs to do better,&#8221; the Australian minister <a href=\"https:\/\/minister.infrastructure.gov.au\/rowland\/interview\/interview-neil-mitchell-3aw-melbourne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">said in interviews<\/a> with local media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of particular concern was the impact on the emergency call line, Triple Zero, Rowland said, that left Optus landlines unable to reach the service. She noted that there should have been contingency arrangements in place and the ability for a device to search for an alternative network when one is down in order to ensure such calls go through.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On possible customer recourse, Rowland said ACMA had pointed to some rights for rebates and refunds, depending on the subscriber&#8217;s contract and local consumer laws. She noted, too, that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optus.com.au\/notices\/outage-response\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">Optus has yet to announce<\/a> details of compensation, which its customers look out for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cybersecurity-101-everything-on-how-to-protect-your-privacy-and-stay-safe-online\/\" rel=\"follow\">Cybersecurity 101: Everything on how to protect your privacy and stay safe online<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A wholly-owned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/networking\/singtel-gives-optus-more-autonomy-to-run-enterprise-unit\/\" rel=\"follow\">subsidiary of Singapore Telecommunications<\/a> (Singtel), Optus&#8217; latest operating revenue grew 1% on strong mobile business results.
