Much of the world woke up Friday discovering much of the internet wasn't working due to an outage caused by cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. And, unfortunately, it doesn't appear like the problems will be totally fixed for quite some time.
Now, if it's just your personal Windows computer that's affected, there appears to be a workaround. The CrowdStrike issue caused many Windows computers to display the Blue Screen of Death but announced a fix around 2:30 a.m. ET. Mashable has the full coverage and steps but effectively you have to delete a file and reboot.
That workaround aside, global issues still persist. Think of how complicated it may be to individually fix the countless machines and services that use Crowdstrike. Everything from airlines, to banks, to emergency services, to healthcare providers, to grocery stores were down or disrupted. Unfortunately, the problems might not go away soon.
Wrote Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder:
"While the issue has been 'identified, isolated, and a fix has been deployed,' per CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz, actually fixing it is not always trivial. This is not a simple update which can easily be deployed to all systems over-the-air, as many of the affected systems crash right after booting up, meaning they're in an endless boot loop. This, in turn, means that the fix must be applied manually...to each affected system, and in large companies, this can take many hours."
Kurtz later admitted in an interview with TODAY that a complete recovery from the issue would take a while.
"It could be some time for some systems that just automatically won’t recover," he said.
So, uhh, buckle up for a Friday with lots of services down.

On the other hand... surprise 3 day weekend!
ReplyDeleteAnd for IT folks: 0 day weekend. 😢
DeleteI was in IT for 12 years. That's standard. That's why I wasn't in IT for 13 years. 🙂
Deleteand for people in hospital 😢
Deletenever apply the updates immediately
ReplyDeleteIT departments with built in tools and protocols in place to quicken the processes of getting up and running reliably and quickly will shine. That takes best practices, 3rd party certifications, high level well paid technicians/consultants, planning and investments. Grades will be posted on the cafeteria digital bulletin board at the end of the month.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I control all updates that come to my computers and only install the ones I see fit to install.
ReplyDeleteyup, our IT guys do not allow automatic updates etc. they test them first to make sure there are no issues. And update related issue for our team is rare. typically when our team encounter one, its a third party off site service that had the issue.
DeleteGood thing I already did my groceries haha. Bank's down. Mostly cashless now.
ReplyDeletecompanies with decent IT will be up quickly.
ReplyDeletecorrect, the fix is out already.
DeleteAs part of the convergence effect of capitalist buyouts and fostered monopolies, all of the cookies end up in one basket, creating singular choke points of mass failure - well done!
ReplyDeleteHello kindly text me on messenger
DeleteIt’s not a Microsoft outage, stop spreading misinformation. Even your title doesn’t make sense
ReplyDeleteSo this is Y2k
ReplyDelete10 days of darkness coming and it's not gonna be good when it starts back up
ReplyDeletepls not over a weekend.

DeleteMicrosoft outage?!? Crowdstrike caused these BSODs, not Microsoft.
ReplyDeleteyeah but it is yet another opportunity to attack Microsoft's reputation and stock. People are paid for this.
Delete𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭. It's bad Crowdstrike security update caused by gross negligence.

Stop calling it "the Microsoft outage"...
ReplyDeletewarning us that without em...they can bring the whole world down...
ReplyDeleteHas anybody tried to shut down the country and reboot it and turn it back on again??? L.o.L 
ReplyDeleteah, how are things already??
ReplyDeleteHe said it's nothing serious and will be resolved fairly quickly at first 😂🤡

ReplyDeletewhat vulnerability? You call faulty third party driver as Windows vulnerability? Does Linux not have faulty third party driver or what?
DeleteJust check who owns CrowdStrike.
ReplyDeleteIt’ll get more clear…
trust the plan q
DeleteWierd.
ReplyDeleteHasnt effected my flights, bank, computer.
Or anything else.
THEY must be more concerned about what you are doing lol
This company seems very sus. Their connection with the occupied land is interesting. The fact they can just kill all systems infected, very interesting...
ReplyDeletetherapy might help
Deletehow so. You have a clear view of it all?
DeleteI do. 30 years in the IT field.
Deletethen tel me why you think they don't have connections with the promised land, and why they would f.up like this.
Deletebad updates happen. Not everything is a vast conspiracy. Crowdstrike has an excellent reputation. This effected all of the windows based clients that were online and updated. This is big-boy, enterprise level software.
DeleteIt only hit large enterprise level clients, but only those types use their software.
Get it?
and crowdstrike didn't kill anything. It just stopped them from booting. It is an easy, if tedious, fix.
Deletelet's see how much this will cost them. if anything...
DeleteI'm thinking about buying their stock. It will take a hit, but their product is solid. Until now. Could be a good way to earn some money over the next year.
Deletemaybe your right. But this debacle is a costly debacle. If it is what they say it is, a dumb action... And indeed not a cyber attack. That would not be great for their value.
DeleteStill, a company with that reputation direct acces to medical information...
Deleteit is going to cost their insurance company the most. Ouch.
Deletecrowdstrike doesn't access the information on machines, it just provides the end-point security.
DeleteWe use ERD and MDR on hundreds of machines, but we have no idea what it on them. Not crowdstrike thankfully. We went with a competitor. 🤣
if everything would be that simple. I also hear Trump isn't a fan of the company...
DeleteI would wager Trump isn't an expert on cyber security anymore than I am about New York real estate.
DeleteTrump's dislike may stem from Crowdstrike investigating the Russian hack of the DNC in 2016. (I think)
I voted for Trump, but his pride tends to overshadow his reasoning and knowledge sometimes.
as always, everything seems to be connected. And the company does shady operations. And all have deep connections with the promised land. As did McAfee... McAfee who died, like some others.., by self inflicted wounds. But we will see how it progresses.
DeleteMicrosoft getting dragged because of CrowdStrike
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what Crowdstrike even is
ReplyDeleteFunny Crowdstrike is owned by Zionist, could this be a test run
ReplyDeleteHow many lawsuits for cloudstrike?
ReplyDeleteAfter they fix it they going to try the digital money full control coming
ReplyDeleteMONEY IS ALREADY DIGITAL!!!!!! The only time I ever get tangible “cash” from the bank is quarters for the garbage washer and dryers in this old crappy apartment building I live in. Other than that, all the money I use is DIGITAL. You sounds like a real intelligent human 🙄 Use your noggin and stop with the conspiracy theory nonsense ✌🏾

ReplyDeleteI love how Microsoft is getting flack for something they didn't even cause.
ReplyDeleteexactly.
Deletebut their operating system should be fault tolerant. That’s the big problem here.
Deleteit’s their OS. That’s why I don’t use Microsoft.
DeleteThis is not about consumers, but corporate IT and they still use Windows alot.

DeleteHA, sw eng for fortune 500 company. HAHA
Deleteha. Been writing software for 38 years! You must write cobol.
DeleteFortran and Pascal.
Deletehahah. Figures
DeleteThe ridiculous solution from crowd strike is to manually delete a file before rebooting your Windows PC. There are hundreds of millions of PCs and servers in the world. This will take months to sought out.
