"A Y2K-style bug affecting Bank of Queensland EFTpos terminals has left merchants across Australia unable to process card transactions over the New Year.... a temporary fix lets merchants enter a code to force terminals to ignore the transaction date.

An anonymous reader writes "It seems some systems are suffering from a Y2K16 bug. When 2009 ticked over to 2010, some Australian EFTPOS machines skipped to the year 2016. Coincidentally, some Windows Mobile users are also having issues with their new year SMSes coming from 2016. What function could cause this kind of error?"
