TNT parcels ‘backed up to ceiling’ in wake of massive cyberattack

Customers voice frustration as FedEx-owned courier admits it is struggling to deal with impact of NotPetya attack

Parcels are backing up at TNT depots in their thousands after the company admitted it is still struggling to deal with the aftermath of June’s cyber-attack that crippled IT systems around the world.

Frustrated customers trying to get news of their undelivered parcels have been told by TNT’s UK staff that consignments at its East Midlands hub are “going up to the ceiling” as international shipments are still having to be processed by hand.

TNT was one of thousands of big businesses and other organisations hit by the ransomware attack known as “NotPetya” at the end of June. At least 2,000 individuals and organisations worldwide were affected by the attack, which began in the Ukraine.

AUSSIE ROCKY: Ex-schoolteacher Jeff Horn pulls off upset over Manny Pacquiao

Australian boxing star Jeff Horn has beaten Filipino Manny Pacquaio to claim the WBO world welterweight title in front of 50,000 fans at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium today.

The 29-year-old former schoolteacher was awarded the win in a unanimous 12-round decision by scores of 117-11, 115-113, 115-113.

A defeated Pacquaio said he accepted the judges’ decision, and would be interested in returning to Australia for a rematch.

“Very tough. I didn’t expect that tough,” he said.

“That’s the decision of the judges. I respect that.”

Triumphant Jeff Horn used the opportunity to throw down the gauntlet to boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr, making use of props.

“This is no joke. Which one does he want, the walking stick or the gloves?” he said.

He said today wasn’t the best day of his life, as he was saving that title for when his pregnant wife gives birth to their first child.

The decision was not without controversy, with many commentators pointing out that Pacquiao had landed more punches over the 12 rounds.

Horn has now improved his record to 18-0-1.

More details to come.

Jimmy Kimmel explains Oscars fiasco | Daily Mail Online

Jimmy Kimmel gave his audience the low-down on what happened in the Best Picture fiasco at the Oscars last night – but not before he had some fun with his sidekick, Guillermo.

A scene from Kimmel’s talk show tonight showed Guillermo sniffing the correct envelope and then throwing it behind him.

Satisfied with his work, Guillermo drank from a large bottle as Kimmel off-stage announces presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty.

But while that would have been a brilliant prank from the comedian who previously trolled anyone from clueless music festival goers to children wanting their Halloween candy, the reality of the situation was a bit less hilarious and a bit more awkward.
