Unlucky to be a Telstra customer! Haha.
Be interesting to know if it was part of a bigger effort, or just a trial to see if it could be achieved. Or is it just interrupting service for the sake of annoying the company and some mid-thirties mouthbreather in their mum's basement is laughing their ass off? Who knows.

According to the article it wasn't a malicious attack as initially reported, but actually a system problem. I take all these "hack attack" articles with a grain of salt, and wonder how many so-called hackings are actually faults with the telco or service providers.
Just think of the debacle with the census website a few years ago that was supposedly hacked, whereas in fact they hadn't built it to withstand tens of thousands of people trying to log-in at once (which is kinda strange considering every adult in the country was supposed to use it within a 24 hour period).

Haha yeah just read the article. Turns out it was just Telstra being garbage and trying to make things up to get out of it. Awkward.
