I seem to recall that a certain simian poster used to like Greggs, but has now moved on to Nando's.
Could the fact that he is no longer supporting them with his business be related to their systems crashing? If so, should we warn Nando's?

I saw a comment from a CTO acquaintance that these issues might be related to an older version of the PCI DSS payments standard being retired on 31st March. Apparently it's the first major change since 2018.
Sounds plausible and more likely than some of the theories circulating about solar flares, undersea internet cables being cut, rogue AI etc.
