I did on my Brokerage account earlier, but not on BBG or any online issues as of now. Now Starbucks this morning Mobile ordering was down in the entire Metro area. This is by far the biggest threat not having coffee on a Friday morning. 

Also heard that a lot of offices in Hong Kong just sent employees home, they couldn't execute trades and hedge. 

Went to Starbucks this morning and placed an online order before going. Upon arriving, it was chaos in there. Turns out they lost all the mobile orders. Took me an extra 10 min to get my order, but some were waiting longer than that.

Same I felt bad, the store nearest to me in a neighborhood but on a couple main roads into the city, was the only one accepting mobile orders since they couldn't get their systems up and running to even turn off mobile ordering. So just complete chaos. 

Starbucks charged me for my mobile order as well and only gave me a $3 credit when our usual order is $13

 

I believe it was Crowdstrike, but MSFT enterprise software was the most widely effected. Luckily nothing seems to be acting up on my firm's end.
