MORNING UPDATE

Well, the news FINALLY started reporting on this issue and I got a few details I didn't know yesterday.

1. Square and Cashapp have the same parent company called Block
2. Apple Pay DEPENDS on Square for functionality.

So, basically, one of the largest payment processors in the world went down and took out tens of thousands of people with them.

I'm willing to bet the wrong person changed a configuration file...  LOL
