As a former IT Professional, I am not surprised that this occurred and it will happen again. Corporate management thinks IT security requires hitting the "Easy Button" and everything just works. Corporate management outsourced IT staff, eliminated test environments, and prefers to push updates out in it's entirety. This would have been avoided if they rolled out the update to a limited amount of systems to see the results in a real-time environment. IT Professionals know to turn off updates to prevent this from effecting your systems.

[@longbeach225]

Yup. We had sandbox environments for this but these companies want to cut cost and speed up production. Now its biting them in the butt.

[@ComplexityUnveiled]

Quantity over quality

[@owenvinall9970]

Totally agree. I was in I.T. Networking / Security for more than 42 years. Either support your I.T. staff with the appropriate skills or your business will continue to suffer outages. The push to blindly have the latest patches, Security Updates installed, can help cause what happened. If possible get appropriate staff to review the risks or at least have alternative systems in place if the above happens. Regularly test those systems and report on the issues that did occur. Errors faults and failures will probably occur thats not a bad thing it helps show what needs to be investigated and if possible fixed. If it cant be fixed determine a work around. The so called modern trendy methods that so many company Managers have adopted only encourage Global failures. The staff in your company are your strength encourage them to care and your company may just have a chance of surviving the next Global Outage. Put all your eggs in one basket and you will suffer the consequences.

Two issues I guess : 1. incompetent bureaucrats lead the show, they take decisions based on how much they can made (for themselves), not how good it could be for the company they are supposed to serve, 2. redundancies, checks, regular drills, etc cost money "for nothing" because everything's fine and will always be fine, go back to point 1 ! People always take everything for granted, so it leads to make things that just need to be serviced regularly to work start failing one after another till the point of in fact, people learn nothing is NEVER granted !

What happened with Crowdstrike is one of the worst cases possible.

[@NotReapiu-gd2zg]

The solution is to stop using closed-source proprietary software. None of this would've happened if the systems were running under Linux. We also need to pass laws that force computer manufacturers to open-source device firmware, and to specify how undisclosed modules, such as Intel ME work, what they actually do, and the source code and design information for these technologies. Many people are starting to suspect that these things such as Intel ME are backdoors (agents that allow remote sources to remotely access your computer). It's already been proven that Microsoft Windows have had NSA backdoors (after source-code leaks), etc. We should know what's in our devices when we buy them.

They're owed by Blackrock, so they aren't going anywhere. If anything they'll do what those corps do all the time, rename, rebrand, and persevere... "You will own nothing, and you will like it!" (It's getting closer...)

[@liamo6889]

Just show you how putting your faith in technology is foolish. Microsoft and crowdstrike are obviously not held accountable and issuing an apology shows how unprofessional they are not adequately testing their software.

The cloud is vulnerable. Centralization is a bad idea and potentially makes huge portions of datastream vulnerable to outage.

[@vister6757]

Exactly

[@elihere1242]

One of the worst thing that can happen in tech centralize security, also why don't they push these updates internally and test it before release it to all of their customers at once?

SO Dow Jones Industrial lost about 1300 points in two days. Thursday and Friday. Millions of peoples 401K's were affected with massive loses to their funds.

[@JustMe-gx4xt]

Coming with a strong technical background and have worked for many giant tech firms, this sounds like total BS. Crowdstrike is most likely a scapegoat for whatever is happening behind the scenes. Now let's look at the FACTS: There is NO way an update like this would be rolled out globally all at once to major firms without testing first and getting high level approvals after testing. Something like this can take weeks or months, NEVER overnight.

[@longbeach225]

Crowdstrike outsource most of their tech to India. Cheap labor comes with cheap outcomes.
