Global Cyber Outage: How did Microsoft Crash Worldwide? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Microsoft's infamous "Blue Screen of Death" was visible all across the globe after a cyber outage brought airports, banks, hospitals and even Disneyland to a standstill. A security update by a firm called CrowdStrike caused Microsoft to crash. This outage was due to a mistake, but what happens if someone were to actively try and cause a global cyber shutdown?

The largest global IT outage was not caused by a cyber attack, but rather by a cyber attack prevention tool🤣🤣

This world is too dependent upon technology. One company can literally shut down the world if they want.

Important event deserving of global attention; appreciate the coverage. I am from India and am proud of my country. We really love ♥ and respect Palki Sharma super interesting videos *How British looted 45 trillion from India* and संघ लोक सेवा आयोग *How Britishers killed 1.8 billion Indians. Chronology of British Raj's exploitative policies* Both are really interesting high-quality masterpieces. The dedication talent and hard work put into the videos are greatly appreciated by many. We would love to see more consistently produced insightful articles. They deserve an award for best publications of the year. We were taught so much. Thank you for telling the truth and all the best

No Blue Screen in Russia. Sanctions even for Blue Screens :)

Shows just how much the world depends on technology, and when it goes bad it goes real bad

[timjonesvideos]

Excellent argument for an all digital, cashless world. What could go wrong?

[rammone]

I just cant wait for DIGITAL CURRENCY!!! Yippee! Bring it on!!

[Truthfullyk]

Imagine if these systems were automated & run by AI. It will be the worst nightmare we have then.

[jagrutijoshi]

So now do you see why local and national databases using national companies are important? Always have your own way of doing things, always have a backup system and a backup for that backup. An extra system is never too much expense. It keeps you in business when people around you fail.

Hats off to our indian staff at the Delhi airport Media must discuss this more, if india came to a halt the media would have run the news for a week.

[indrasukumar]

Self reliant is good not only for individuals and also for the Country… SO AATMANIRBHAR BHARAT IS HIGHLY A WELCOME & APPRECIATED ONE👍

[jinose]

I am glad that this blame didn't fall on Russia 😅

[maheshb]

Am I the only one that noticed Palki repeatedly saying "Cloud Strike" instead of Crowd strike?

[TheIpatnano]

I just wanna say that this journalist does her job really well

[naveensriram]

This topic was well covered by you compared to any other channel with relevant and straight information, 👌

Microsoft outage: This is the biggest technology outage the world has ever seen.
Sun: Hold my beer

[DheeruMoolya]

As a software engineer working from home for the last 3-4 years, today I could easily explain the significance of our daily online meetings to my surroundings (parents/friends)!

That's how important the software is...in today's digital world!!

Every single day & night we spend to keep the system up matters a lot!!!

[jqmtv]

Guess what? We're not even aware of this in Ghana west Africa. Lol

[Walkingaround_UK]

This proves again India is not for beginners. 0:47

[johncheresna]

I have never liked or trusted MS.
SUN was much more secure. IMHO.
