Greggs storefronts reopen after payment processing issues

Strange that none of these organsiations admit what actually caused the IT downtime. Was it a problem with the card providers validation application or was it a cyber attack?

Half of Klarna employees using ChatGPT Enterprise

All very well and smart thing to do but iusers need to be trained on it's use as ChatGPT does give erroneous answers sometimes. So it requires human intelligence and knowledge to be able to be critical and assess whether results are accurate and correct. Blindly accepting ChatGPT's output can lead to serious blunders. Used wisely it's an awesome tool that boosts productivity.

Coutts Bank’s Nigel Farage saga is a reminder that access to digital payments is a privilege
