Worldwide tech outage grounds flights, knocks banks offline & media outlets off the air

[@susansimon7428]

Our vulnerability to the actions of a single company is frightening.

Everyone thought we had to worry about 2000, but it was actually 2024

[@RobertojavierSilvaharth-ub3pz]

We're so lucky this was not intended... Imagine the consequences if a hacker intended to do this...

[@nononsenseBennett]

It happened a while ago to LONDON DRUGS (Canada) which shut down their stores for about a week. We are TOO VULNERABLE using computers for everything.

It is eye opening how average people who are only needed to read a teleprompter are so supprised that they are worthless without the technology they got provided and see for granted every day.

Always keep a little cash on hand.

[@nosuchthing8]

Until they outlaw cash. Which is a world wide movement.

[@timothysmith6330]

Why is this funny? I don't see this as funny. This could be the beginning of something catastrophic happening.

[@PINKBOIKWEENOFSOUL]

Well I hope that at least when the ELECTRIC power comes back, that it can give me a ""BLESSING"" in my bank account! 😂😂🤷🏾‍♀️ THANKS 🙏🏻

[@BobSaxon-ou7ww]

And this is why we can't trust digital currency and need to keep cash on hand

[@slobrat3556]

Ive had a hell of a morning, no credit no debit, computers were down. Someone better get fired over this, im losing income!

[@nononsenseBennett]

I couldn't even get paint mixed because their system is linked by the internet. RIDICULOUS

[@willwilburn9473]

How much income do you think you are going to lose when it goes completely down because somebody turned it off ?

This is what class action lawsuits are for. Crowdstrike employees are probably updating their resumes.

It’s Skynet !😱🤯

[@dloren6183]

Trial Run...

[@ETTP.S]

Yup, my iPad stopped working suddenly but then it worked after a quick reset but yeah. I agree. Testing the waters to see the reaction.

[@Simon2k17]

Crowdstrike cannot just upload the fix when computers are in blue screen of death. Each and every computer will have to be fix manually. This may take weeks for certain companies that have thousands of computers. The fix requires the the person to go in safe mode or recovery, access the corrupt file that was sent by crowd strike, and delete it. The difficulty of this task is that all computers will have a bit locker key that you must enter to access the corrupt file from safe/recovery mode. Some computers, may even be locked out of the safe/recovery mode as an extra layer of security. Only your company IT will know the codes due to cyber security reasons. If you have only a small team for IT for many computers, and IT doesn't trust the other employees to implement the fix, then it's going to take awhile as they go to each computer.

Can i withdraw money i don't have ?

[@projectcontractors]

These tech companies rarely admit when it's ransomware until later!

[@ETTP.S]

It’s been a ransomware war for like 4 years now. ATT&T won’t admit that tho…

[@DarcykinsM]

Because testing code before sending to to production is just unheard of.

[@JuIietaAmezcua]

She is laughing about these…
