Canada Post computer system down in at least the GTA
just got back from Shoppers and their CP computer system is down. Lady at counter told me it is at least effecting the GTA. Don't know if it's more widespread than that. No ETA when it will be fixed.

·1 year agoYeah, something happened that basically knocked out the internet connectivity at all post offices nation-wide. Post Offices couldn't do much of anything for the beginning part of the day but service was eventually restored in the afternoon.

·1 year agoPossibly a cyber-attack? I wouldn't be surprised. Hopefully without a major private info leak.

·1 year agoMore likely the data center was caught up in the power failure. Obviously data centers have back up power but how long that can operate and at what level are unknown.
The woman at my post office told me that it had been up and down (mostly down) in the morning but had returned to "normal" before I went there (3:00pm).
I have friends in the blackout area, one got their power back to Tuesday evening but they have no cell connectivity, another is still out, currently with no specified restoration time (initially he was told Sunday evening). Worse still there is more freezing rain expected over the next 24 hours, there could be even greater damage than on the first go round if there are any trees left to fall on wires.

·1 year agoYeah, I was told the computer systems were partly out. The mail trucks apparently aren't running today either (at least where I am).

·1 year agoI was at my local PO 5 minites ago, their system is back up (for now) but had been on/off (mostly off) all morning. They put up a sign that they are closing early today (5:00pm)
Hydro One is reporting a ton of outages throughout their service area. Here in the "center of the universe" Toronto Hydro only reported a handful of small outages.
