What the CrowdStrike IT failure says about cybersecurity

The CrowdStrike outage greatly impacted not only airlines but also various sectors in healthcare and hospitality. San Jose State Professor Ahmed Banafa explains that the outage affected many more people than a typical IT failure impacting just one company. He notes that fixing the issue requires manually deleting a malicious file from thousands of computers, a process that could take weeks.
With systems compromised, hackers can take advantage of this situation by creating phishing emails along with fake research and websites to gain access to affected parties. When asked how individuals could keep their computers safe, Banafa emphasized thinking before clicking and only using help directly from Microsoft and CrowdStrike.
In addition, Banafa notes that no one questions a software update, and as a result, 8.5 million devices suffered this outage. This incident may prompt Microsoft to reconsider its relationship with CrowdStrike due to the negative publicity.

NVDA66K is still extremely undervalued

[armsguyle]

This is a potential buying opportunity, the current dip due to service outages doesn't reflect the long term value. This is a good time to consider buying.

What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.

When your company creates the exact problem that your company is designed to prevent, your company is a failure.

Absolutely the dumbest IT security ever . To upload untested uploads ?😂😂😂😂 . Hope they get an enormous fine .

[ismaelmoreno]

To me, it seems all of the affected organizations failed to implement a Zero Trust cybersecurity model (Trust but Verify) including providers.

Market depth is really interesting and there are some big pending orders if the price keeps dropping.
