I don't know what's going on with KPN, but in the last month they have been making huge blunders. First there was a huge payment processing outage, people couldn't pay with PIN and creditcards for a day. This problem was caused by some firewall configuration error. And now they mess up once again.
Let's hope that there were no victims, like there were the previous time (several years ago) when this happened! And this time in the middle of the heatwave ... The redundant (backup) systems didn't work too (and/or couldn't be reached) ... Besides: the NL Alerts were not working properly. And there can be questions raised about the governments own crisis centre: how good and fast was that actually working ... And a wrong phone number was published. Lots and lots of questions. The last word about this all is not yet spoken .... But at least police officers and emergency people were on high alert. Thanks go to those people.
Alas, a person died: Someone had first to go to a fire-station from where an ambulance could be called via a special network. Maybe it could never be proven whether the person would also have died if the ambulance would have arrived sooner. Sometimes every minute counts ... ; that's why we have that system. And the government must be held accountable! (and if the government lets a third party do the emergency calling system, then that third party must be held accountable).
