How CrowdStrike broke Windows computers everywhere. #mkbhd #waveformpodcast #microsoft

This is the first time I've seen the issue correctly explained on social media. The fix was actually really simple, but really time consuming because you had to log into each machine individually. It wasn't too bad for us server admins since most servers these days are virtual, but help desk folks who deal with end-user PCs are STILL having a rough time.

Thank you Andrew for the shout out to the techs. I'm in IT with the health industry and we had to physically go to over 500 computers last week.

[Liminalal]

it still makes me mad how many people were blaming this on microsoft when it happened instead of the actually company at fault

I got so lucky during this, and I quite literally skipped the whole thing since I was on vacation in china. 😂😂😂. Literally I saw on my news app that there was some sort of outage and I’m like “hmm, that’s kinda interesting” while the rest of the world is completely freaking out

[UnknowNinja]

I like to think some mission impossible just happened.

I'd like to find out if CrowdStrike even tested the update before rolling it out. With so many people affected simultaneously, it seems like they didn't. Luckily (sort of), the bug is loaded through a configuration file as opposed to it being in the executable. The problem now is that malicious actors know this.

Nobody slapped the computer and said "this aint gonna fail" before sending out the update 😔

Break, Yay! Let's order food. Ohh. Food app broke 😅

[cmusic]

[Hanzered]
