interestrateripoff Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/cloud/cloud-management/hsbc-website-online-banking-outage-182956?PageSpeed=noscript http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/01/04/hsbc_says_sorry_for_online_banking_outage/ Been offline now for nearly 24 hours. A software update gone wrong? Hacked? HSBC haven't been forthcoming over what the problem is. Have HSBC cut costs by sub-contracting out the IT infrastructure? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SirGaz Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Its been down for me since the thirty first, I'm supposed to pay myself at the end of every month and haven't been able to do so yet, good job I don't have a VAT bill due. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreeFall Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Must be a s/w update - mobile banking still working fine. Edit: Apparently this was down yesterday as well, but now restored. Small comfort that I'm a net debtor with them.... Edited January 5, 2016 by FreeFall Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CunningPlan Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I got online for about an hour yesterday afternoon - good job or my LL would have had a melt-down when his rent didn't arrive on time. Can't get on today though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spunko2010 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Its been down for me since the thirty first, I'm supposed to pay myself at the end of every month and haven't been able to do so yet, good job I don't have a VAT bill due. That's actually one of the few accepted excuses by HMRC. I've used it before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
interestrateripoff Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Still offline. Luckily the IT infrastructure doesn't matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
