Print is not dead: NAB takes out newspaper ads to apologise for outage
Jun 3, 2018
The outage downed ATMs, EFTPOS and online banking across the country and occurred at a time when Australian banks are already suffering serious brand damage through the Banking Royal Commission. In an effort to ‘make it right’, NAB has promised to compensate business customers who suffered losses. In its printed apology in News Corp newspapers today, NAB CEO, Andrew Thorburn, said sometimes things can go wrong. But, if they do, the commitment is at NAB to always make it right. “Our promise to our customers is to be about more than money," he stated, echoing the bank's brand campaign. "Inherent in that promise is the expectation that, as your bank, we get the fundamentals [the “money” bit] right. On Saturday we failed to do that. “Many of our services didn’t work for several hours because of a nationwide NAB outage. This affected and deeply inconvenienced many of our customers and others just trying to get their Saturday shopping done. We’re truly sorry this happened and apologise. “To our business customers who lost money as a result of this outage, we’re committed to compensating you for your loss. We’d like you to know we’ve found the cause of our outage and have acted to prevent that particular problem happening again.” Commenting on the choice of print advertising, Carat Media CEO, Paul Brooks, said print remains a trusted, authoritative medium with consumers. This is despite the digitisation of media and decline in despite in print readership across mastheads.
“There is a degree of finality to it that works well from a trust perspective. Once something’s printed in black and white, there’s no going back on it or changing the narrative, which shows readers – and customers – a willingness to stand by what you’ve said,” Brooks told CMO.

Vocus confirms hacked PABX flooded 000
Jun 3, 2018
At 8.30am Saturday, Vocus was made aware of unusual inbound VoIP call activity to 000 call centres between 6.09am and 7.55am that morning,” the network operator said in a statement.“Pre-defined fraud filters meant that algorithmically generated attempts to dial international numbers failed and the attempt was aborted,” Vocus said. “However, many of these calls included a ‘000’ prefix which were routed to emergency services.”The Sydney Morning Herald was the first outlet to report details of the incident.On three separate occasions on 26 May, some 600 ‘blank’ calls were made to the Triple Zero emergency line. There were two bursts within 60 seconds and one period across 35 minutes according to Telstra, which operates the service.The calls appeared to originate from multiple numbers. Operators redirected them to a recorded service that asks a caller to press ’55’ on their phone.Vocus said that it had taken steps to prevent a repeat of the incident.Vocus added: “Toll fraud is a significant problem and can be complex and time consuming to resolve. Vocus takes fraud awareness very seriously and works closely with customers to assist them to keep their business safe from toll fraud attacks.”“Services connected to another Australian telecommunications provider generated unusual inbound call activity to our 000 call centres between 6am and 8am Saturday,” a Telstra spokesperson told Computerworld.Read more Optus chases Telstra for damages over ‘unlimited’ ads“We have worked with the government, emergency service providers and the provider to resolve the issue. “In some cases, repeat calls were directed to police in the state in which they were determined to have originated. There was some impact on call response times during these call bursts and our network otherwise operated normally.”Telstra informed the Australian Communications and Media Authority of the incident.
