Telstra experienced a nationwide outage affecting phone services and online payments. This disruption prompted criticism from Australia's Communications Minister Anika Wells. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the incident a significant national disruption. The company later attributed the failure to a software defect, not a cyberattack. Investigations into the root cause and its impact are now underway.
