Let me make this clear, I’m unclear if this is Thursday or Friday morning we’re talking about, but we do know there was an outage that caused massive issues.
At this time, I’m going to link to KNX’s article which does a great job of covering this in their own right.
They are a news agency, but I feel this is the coverage I can give you right now.
The article is titled A faulty software update causes havoc worldwide for airlines, hospitals and governments.
Let’s remember that Crowd Strike is no different than any other company. Let’s also remember that this can happen to anyone and any software company pushing updates out.
When I get to the tech press, and the article I read has more or a different view than what we have here, I’ll share it.
Be well and safe travels!
Well you are right.
I wouldn’t like to be those involved.
Saying that its why I don’t care about third party security.
And just in case anyone forgets, microsoft does this all the time on windows.
I can’t remember how many times I have had to reformat due to a mangled update.
There have been multiple instances when updates to microsoft products have caused ugly issues on the systems, nonbooting units, loss of data etc and we let those dogs continue.
They run 99.9% of our systems and are almost as strong as jesus and their support is questionable.
Yet we continue.
I am happy this didn’t effect home users.
I have minimal cash on me and make multiple backups but well thats that.
