Microsoft Outage: What We Know So Far

A major Microsoft outage has meant businesses worldwide cannot operate, with numerous flights grounded and banking apps down. 

So, what actually caused it?

This global internet outage is insane! All airlines grounded and i was stock the airport and even banks, media, and offices from the U.S. to Australia. How can CrowdStrike have such a monopoly that could help restore such a massive amount of tech?

[paulsandford]

And they are constantly pushing for a cashless society? Yeah, good one!

[jaywalks]

Oh, please. The software update wasn't tested fully before release, and that's due to CrowdStrike's incompetence.

[AlgoSurfer]

Crowdstrike has not followed good IT practice by not deploying a phased or staggered update. This is all by design....

[robblankenstein]

Did they try turning it off and on again?

This is CrowdStrike, not Microsoft. CrowdStrike runs a new Generative AI Based cybersecurity system called Falcon. This is the first Global incident of how AI can and will completely control us.

Great video.
*I was a process control engineer (just retired 2/21/24) I would always stress test my projects just to make sure it would work under all conditions.*
Also depending on the government.
*But I found away of earning more income despite my Retirement. $67k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.*

Crowdstrike is the kind of bloated monolithic software that is a magnet for BSODs. On Linux, software like this is split into multiple dependencies and packages that are installed separately, but all at once. Linux should be the operating system for government and enterprise.

The expert is not very expert.... only systems that run CrowdStrike Falcon were affected. There are plenty of MicroSoft systems that don't run CrowdStrike Falcon and so were unaffected. Also, there are many non MicroSoft systems out there - which were not affected. Thus, we are not reliant on one system. However, that said, there does appear to be many systems running CrowdStrike Falcon... my company has only recently moved over to it - we used to have Kaspersky but, well, you know....

Crowdstrike is dead now. They will have to pay compensation. It will be in billions.

I read half an article and can explain it better than their expert. This crowstrike antivirus installs a driver on the machine so that it has kernel level privilages. This driver got updated to a faulty one. Unlike regular applications which if they crash it's only themselves that suffer, drivers that crash take down the whole operating system. To fix the issue you need to boot to safemode where only the essential drivers load, and delete the problematic driver file

Its OK guys. Just put all your faith in these systems and all of your personal data online. Nothing can go wrong.

Dude’s there nervously smiling while “explaining” the world literally crashing 😂

[zlackbiro]

As an IT professional, I believe that using Microsoft services in a serious company is a significant mistake. All services should be installed on-site, and all databases and software should be designed to run exclusively on the Linux operating system. No third-party services or software should be involved.

Linux are us. Never seen a blue screen that wasn't Arch wallpaper.

[zesteecheeze]

Please, overlords, tell me again why switching to a completely digital ID and payment system is good

[KingTrump]

Might want to change the title before Microsoft sues for slander and defamation !

[VedaSay]

Its Friday morning here in US. Great start with this clip! I know the day is going to be tough.

[radheysrivastava]

Australian New channels are fun to watch, ... you guys are smiling all the time...that's really good, where others in (US and elsewhere) are cribbing about even a pindrop...keep it up

"Now been dubbed" as an IT professional I find this hilarious😅
