Global IT outage: Airports, hospitals, businesses around the world disrupted

A massive IT glitch has crashed computer systems around the world. Airports, hospitals and businesses have been affected, with computers shut down or unable to access networks. The main reason is an outage in Microsoft's cloud services and related apps. Travel disruptions have been the most obvious consequence of the global IT failure. Airports stretching from the US to Australia and including India, the UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia all saw their booking systems fail, forcing staff to check in passengers manually.

@@SohaiKia International Jewry, Anglo-Zio Empire and Judeo-Christian Alliance will report your comment.

[@ILUVBAKKUA]

Yes unix systems are more robust but unix systems are usually more for backend server operations and unix servers and the apps licenses are very expensive, cheaper FE or front end application servers usually on windows and easier to develop. For DR on paper it sounds great but only big companies can really afford imagine on your production you have clusters for all the important servers then your DR site you also want to have clusters and replica servers then you are paying for maintainence and licenses for equipment in both sites but your DR is just standby waiting for something to happen - SUPER EXPENSIVE solution that honestly very few companies can afford.

[@ranchuhead4547]

@@user-ni4qq5cx8w it’s CrowdStrike that caused another software ( Microsoft Windows) to have an issue.

[@Slla-th5vt]

😂😂😂 u dun understand business. The cost of outrage is less than the cost of supporting your own Unix. And if u outsource, u are just going to get the same risk as what happen this time.

The software seems not allowed to install in China, thus no crash in China..

[@adriandunne4382]

Crowdstrike cannot be used in mainland China, and China does not use Microsoft servers.

Wow. Interesting.

[@patrickgz]

windows servers still being used in critical sector?

[@gentoffire]

partially, but MNCs in China they use this system and many reporting the same issue

[@Degenerate76]

Considering Crowdstrike originated as a CIA cutout, that faked evidence to perpetrate the Trump-Russia hoax, I would say the Chinese government is wise.

This is why you dont have automatic windows update downloads or install. I usually wait a month or so. By then most bugs are sorted out.

[@M43782]

It wasn't Windows update. CrowdStrike cybersecurity software have broken Windows.

[@user-zk7hv4kr1d]

@M43782 Yeah but from what I understand, it was an update like any other. Meaning there probably is a way to not install automatically. But to be honest. I'm surprised they didn't test it first before distributing to everyone.
