CrowdStrike are saying that Microsoft security isn't reliable and this issue shows that CrowdStrike security isn't reliable.

[filmsound]

And they want us to go digital money...

[arthurn]

The Y2K bug could only dream of this 'accomplishment'

[ampeg]

There is no way out of this for Crowdstrike, they will go bankrupt with lawsuits going on for years and years to come.

[Mhaakify]

Well, now we'll see how many admins actually bothered to keep the Bitlocker key.

[docmalitt]

Microsoft was like - "few... finally not us DIRECTLY responsible... at least for a day the lime lights will be on Crowdstrike, not our shitty behavior toward customers"

[Chris-hyjy]

Never heard of Crowd Strike until today 🤷‍♂️

[CedroCron]

This is why I have disabled automatic updates on my Windows PC's. No one tests things any longer and this is the result. I will update when I want, not when Microsoft thinks it's best!

[DanteMishima]

The world will learn, "if it aint broke, don't fix it"

Updates are not your friend

[oneammonday]

I'm an old fart who knows just enough tech that I can REALLY screw up MY computer, and I was wondering; why, (if you're a big, important industry, like an airline/s), why wouldn't you have, like, a "dummy" system that gets the updates first and emulates the main system, so you can save the day, instead of pooping your pants. Sorry about the 'run on' sentence. That's just how it comes out, sometimes.

While I personally would not recommend crowdstrike to anyone (after having experienced massive issues with it in the past), it must be said, that while the root-cause of the problem was crowdstrikes faulty sw-update, the massive outages worldwide are also the responsibility of the IT-departments of the large companies that experience these outages. Many years ago, those comanies would not take an update and install it on all their systems directly. Rather than that, this update would have been tested on a number of systems that are representative to the installed base (in that company) before this update could be copied into the companies own update servers.
With that, this faulty update had bricked some testsystems and had then never seen the companies update servers and had never been installed on any important productive system. But, 'cut-down-cost-is-king' ... most companies do not do it the oldfashioned way anymore.
At least, for all companies that have experienced outages now, you really can tell, how careless they are.

[roynorton]

disabling society has never been so easy...

[SpeedUpThatComputer]

This is why we need to have offline systems to atleast still be able to do something just in case. It may be less efficient but it's better than grinding to a halt and losing millions an hour.

[tiberiud]

I’m stuck in Detroit all delta screens blue !

[welshtony]

Should only effect business users who use this security software and not home users but quick response. I had a feeling this was going to be a video you would do today

[busybillyb]

I must say, I never heard of this Crowdstrike company before. But the moment I got corporate communications informing us that our systems our down due to Crowdstrike, I remembered...Lewis Hamilton's helmet!

[morturn]

Looks like Liz Truss' first day at her new job at Microsoft did now go too well.

[soulaesthete]

Thank you so much, Britec. Here in North Carolina in the US, there's been all kinds of disruptions from airlines to hospitals. These companies should be held accountable for causing such chaos around the world.

[scunnybear]

cash only at pubs. .when we go cashless it will be chaotic

[MaxRiley]

The troubles is Microsoft fired so many people at testing dept and they push updates to our computers and test them on our machines through telemetry. That's how they got to save money.
