CrowdStrike- major player in cybersecurity released automatic update that caused major global outage

I'm going shopping tomorrow to stock up! Just incase!

Why wouldn't Homeland Security require major transportation or industry have some built in redundancy ? It shouldn't be all or nothing to function in this country. Right now it is.

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR COMPUTERS

cloudstrike used to be my favorite dps

~ Just remove CrowdStrike. SIMPLE ~

LOL, wow CBS, just wow. For clarity, we're talking millions of endpoints globally were affected and it does require manual intervention depending on the implementation. I am so thankful I don't work in support anymore cuz this was a weekend killer.

Nah now its the stuff they always warned us about. Rache bartmoss irl

Test on production

His last statement is one that we, in the IT field have been saying since the late 1990s...nothing has changed other than it isnt just people that are stupid and lazy...entire corporations are now by moving their IT from internal, to external and using the cloud.

When coding software: don't write go-to go-to's ...recipe for disaster and blue screens of death. Better yet don't use any Windows based computer products.
Go with Linux or it's famous stepchild Android.

Can't even get the correct name of the company involved? Top journalism here, folks. This is why no one respects the media anymore.

I may not have the IQ of CBS "journalists" but its CROWDSTRIKE.

Wanna hear my conclusion? This is a part of a process of removing Spyware across all Microsoft systems.

BTW this comp'any is owned by VANGUARD and BLACK ROCK. Just testing the waters, nothing to see here folks :D

Biden administration had to delete a bunch of sh**...sorry everyone else

I saw that screen all day today. So many bitlocker keys today

Time to head in a different direction, web 1 and 2 lazing along in corporate clouds is just asking for trouble. There is a much better way to store and work with datasets, ICP, DYOR.

What’s up with the 141 million$ in put options then? Crazy luck 🍀 👀

This is just as bad as kasperspy being blamed on for spying why don't we ban CloudStrike if they're having security issues as well I know it's not a Windows issue but I am glad I am on Linux and get frequent security updates that actually work and don't send my privacy to Microsofts data center.

Who needs hackers?

"WE ARE SORRY FOR YOUR INCONVENIENCE. PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHED NEFARIOUS SECURITY PATCH AND AGREE TO OUR NEFARIOUS TERMS OF SERVICE. THANK-YOU!"

No doubt this is how the left tries to cheat in November.

Professor Evans Thank you for being Techie Smart Jesus Loves you 😊

large companies should never be reliant on just one company for software.

hmm same week as the rnc, same way they hid how 12 million shares were dumped right before the assignation attempt, at and t deleted three phones of interest…

right on accident

cant believe they got the weapon from destiny 2 to cause outages, but then again its an arc weapon

The end user should be testing those patches also. Anyone subjected to the outage had the ability to prevent it if they were testing their patches properly and only deploying patches after that process

More like crapstrike…😂

NIST SP 800-40
It’s standard guidance to validate your patches before deploying them. Anyone affected is not following published guidance or industry best practices.

This is bad reporting…not even fact checking…it’s not cloud strike..it is crowdstrike!

When did BSOD become "when it doesn't boot". BSOD can happen DAYS after startup... BSOD is when windows just gives up.

Scrubbing some data they don’t want someone to find out about.

Check out redacted. Deep state mafia has us on a list.

Why do they have this much power

Where I work if we are having tech problems they want me to tell my customers that we are having updates, so I can't trust any company blaming an update for the problem. Updates are suppose to fix things, the update was nothing more than malware, the company Crowdstrike needs shut down and liquidated and those of us afflicted need compensated. You really think that a security company is going to be so upfront to admit they got hacked? In a couple of years we will hear this was a cyber attack, but for today while they can keep it covered the excuse is they don't test updates they just release it on their clients to test out for them....

Perfect🤨

So glad I disabled cloud services on my Win10 computer.

Nice shade having a Mac sitting on top of an inoperative Windows machine lol

Someone at CrowdStrike is looking for a new job.

enable automatic updates, this is what you get lol.

This IT guy is making a lot of assumptions.

It was Crowd stroke today. I’ll keep backups on my phone of everything on my phone 📱 Thanks.

This is not a bug. It is about control on your lives

Unless they were really just unlucky, the usual culprit is lack of pre-release testing. The QA function is always the first to be neglected. Wont guarantee absence of technical problems but can significantly reduce the (global) risks.

RIP kevin metnik

CEO must resign…and companies must to create redundant operating systems as backup. Microsoft depends so much third party companies for development.

It's approx 50 years since the internet crept up on this techno obsessed society. By now people have no longer any clue whatsoever about life before the net. That there was ever such thing as "the Good Old Days" is a myth but before the net life was simpler, more efficient and without the threat of the entire global infrastructure breaking down - notwithstanding the forever ongoing wars. Life's become an AI Algorithm asylum, nothing relates to a natural existence anymore and we've all become slaves to an industry that is killing us. A total collapse of the entire internet would well be what this society needs to shock us back to reality. Greetings from 84 years of observing the self imposed downfall of the human race.

to prevent this or anything like it from happening to you *EVER*....
