This just shows you that it doesn't take very much to shut this country down

[BrownTrout]

“It wasn’t a cybersecurity issue”

So yall just unplugged your servers for an hour?

[DanFreeman]

Airports, Hospitals & Banks are down but everything's OK?

[jumpnjack]

This is what happens when there is to a monopoly on data storage

[BogdanTimofte]

'not a security incident or cyberattack' only incompetence and greed

[jamesdelaney]

Don't worry folks, nothing here to see

[gowthamsaminathan]

Conspiracy theory time:-
Its skynet guys

[natashastcyr]

This is awful why does one company have so much impact on EVERY Industry????

[hzziquc]

Payment processing failures and telecommunications failures yet somehow its not cyberattack related? Seems pretty unlikely

[Dangic]

So they uploaded a cyberattack on themselves by mistake
Got it

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024.

Some country was testing its capabilities.

Yet another reminded why we should NEVER accept 'cashless'. You can write down cash transactions and record later.

1:13 What a joke that the news relies so heavily on Twitter for information. Why do we even need the news at this point?

[Robert-bwrd]

Of course it's not an attack or was planned by the owners

[Mbabyy]

They have no idea what’s going on, never even heard of crowdstrike stuttering all over the place. They’re trying not to cause panic so saying it’s not a cyber attack it seems

[johnolson]

This IS a security incident. It impacted a large number of systems and caused service availability issues globally.

[acidintheface]

So who's gonna tell ppl that maybe Microsoft being the only main stream OS is a good idea.

[gagahusband]

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

[radiopilot]

yeah, ok CrowdStrike, all systems down but not a cyber attack, then what happened?
