Some people are suggesting there may be a malicious actor at work, after multiple business have been struck with this in such a short space of time.

It’s also possible the affected business all use a common payment handling software which is experiencing issues.

Wonder if there’s some third party software that they’re all using that’s having a rough few days, or has been updated and broken something?

Everything is working fine why do we need IT staff?

The bosses have decided they don’t need to pay anyone to maintain their money-printing machines?

I thought this as well.

my headcanon on this is delayed leap-day bugs from february 29th, only showing up just now
