Does seem like the failure rates are increasing-for whatever reason Business SYDNEY - ANZ customers across Australia were left empty-handed yesterday when hardware problems brought the bank's nationwide computer network to a standstill. Striking around 1pm, the system failure halted transactions for nearly two hours during the busy lunchtime period. When contacted by Computerworld, ANZ officials were tight-lipped about the outage, admitting only that the bank had suffered a "hardware fault" and refusing requests to provide details about the source and extent of the problem. "It was a hardware problem, but all systems are up and running again," said an ANZ spokesperson, adding that "ANZ would like to apologise to its customers for any inconvenience caused."
