One thing I haven't seen covered in the news very much, which deserves a lot more attention: MoneyGram has been down for more than a week.
MoneyGram is used by a lot of foreign workers in the US and elsewhere to send money home. Their services went dark and the company hasn't been forthcoming about what's happening.
What's more, the disruption caused the UK Post Office to spike a contract with MoneyGram.
This is a really big deal.
