Cause of the outage
While TDC Net officials attribute the outage to a likely software update issue the cause remains under investigation. This has raised concerns about potential cyberattacks especially considering the critical nature of the affected services.
TDC Net announced late yesterday that they had implemented a fix allowing customers to make calls again albeit with reduced sound quality. However the company is still investigating the root cause of the problem to prevent similar disruptions in the future
