Jimmy Kimmel Is Back & How To 'Outage Proof' Yourself When Your Telco Goes Down

A dodgy firewall upgrade is reportedly behind an Optus outage that led to their customers across four states last week being unable to access the national emergency service triple-zero line.

It's a story we're hearing more often - that an upgrade has taken out a major Telco or web service, leaving us stranded. But can you actually proof yourself in 2025?

Plus find out why some think the world will end today as end-times event The Rapture is set to hit on 23rd September 2025.

And in headlines today, Officials from the ABC in the US say they have reinstated Jimmy Kimmel and his late night show: the federal government has been accused of "failing Australians" by not implementing a Triple 0 custodian before the recent Optus outage; Investigators locked in a four-week manhunt for alleged police killer Dezi Freeman could soon face the prospect of having to "draw a line in the sand" as resource restraints and costs pile up; Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has been dumped as patron from several children’s charities over an email she sent to Jeffrey Epstein
