Any updates can break the system, and that is why it has to be tested before being applied. Now we don't know what the extent of the damage is, but the blue screen of death is really bad. So in the worst case scenario, the hundreds of thousands of servers, and workstations around the world have to be manually fixed. That means that systems need to be re-imaged, and restored from backup, and the companies that don't maintain a good backup, will be in big trouble.
This is entirely the problem of the management for pushing developers to push new updates with a tight schedule without testing. it doesn't always cause a damage, but when it did, it's tremendous.
Both of their faults. CrowdStrike for untested faulty code and Microsoft for not having in-place a system of preventing untested 3rd-party code. It's not good enough.

Automatic updates, driver based software…. All points to hard recovery when things go wrong - and boy has it gone wrong! The really odd part of this is the actual code in the 00000292.sys file which is the root cause is full of null objects (and I mean full, not just the odd few here and there). Did something go wrong in the pre release QC? Was the code written with malicious intent by a bad internal actor? Fault in the code compiler process? Something else? I don’t know if the truth will come out but if it doesn’t CrowStrike will lose customers more rapidly than they might hope.
This is not the first time this debate has been had. This harkens back to how Windows was written in the Windows NT days. Also, this is not the first time an incident like this has happened. It hasn't happened at this scale before because Crowdstrike is considered a golden standard in this area and is in a lot of Fortune 500 companies now. Not sure if it will be after this incident. As for MS stopping this, there needs to be considerable amount of overhaul in their core code. Don't see that happening anytime soon.
It is noteworthy that all the blame is directed at CrowdStrike. Microsoft must also be held accountable for permitting a third party to disrupt their boot process. Furthermore, C-level executives should be responsible for over-relying on single providers, thereby concentrating risk. This situation highlights the perception of Microsoft as a monopolistic entity and raises concerns about its heavy reliance on H-1B visas.
only newbies allow for immediate updates. There are options on iPhone and windows system to delay and pause updates for a couple of weeks . I am a Tech guy and let me tell you : Most updates are useless and include bugs or they add an unnecessary features or remove good features ... updates can also bloat your computer.
Apple systems , Amazon AWS, Google clouds are more advanced, Secure and reliable for example Apple do not allow Third party companies get involved with their systems , Amazon AWS created their own programming languages to run their systems so the programming language itself is exclusive to Amazon AWS so it is impossible to be hacked that is why most banks use AWS to store and manage the DATA
@@oceanic8156 i mean what can she possibly knew? Engineers are probably scratching their heads how to fix it. She's in corporate business not in technical aspect.
You should of asked, why did this only affected the Microsoft operating system and not others? And is it because of the way Microsoft os is setup, specifically it's kernel?
Facts..the same kernel that would've got BSOD by a bad driver in '98 smh at some point, you have to get that right..no third party anything should be able to ever cripple ANY OS. Not being able to boot is just not acceptable..too many critical systems..look at the amount of chaos human error caused..sheesh
I was expecting more in details from Microsoft VP, she explained really nothing, and for thing likes this to happen, it’s sign of big troubles of management and quality control, period.
Need to focus on never letting this happen again and remove forced updates to be logically installed by different stages, non Essentials first then spread systemically but doing a verified check on every system that the computer turned back on would have stopped every update from the first one failed. Doing one test of a non-essential device to make sure that the sequence worked properly got a verified test before initiating the entire Corporation or system
Since the beginning of Microsoft Microsoft has always had problems updating the windows operating system. There is something very wrong in the way they do the updates. My laptops have crashed so many times just with a simple update so do not blame it all on that security firm.
When you compare this interview with the interview of CEO of You'd Strike, the leader of the company that is actually responsible for the outage. You begin to understand why DEI is so important
The real questions that everyone should be asking is ...... What happened during, DURING the bootloop, because that's when anyone can access ANYTHING....and yesterday was an entire day of chances!
Fixed it myself but it took me two days. It was not just Microsoft software. Simply disconnected all hardware, rebooted all network systems, router, advanced wifi and passwords. It certainly was a clusterf though. Scary as hell to be shut out of every single functional program in my software suite and blocked from accessing all financial software, banking & daytrading, etc., and helpless to do anything about it. Definitely a warning about what may be coming. At least I feel better for now knowing what to do.
Without the corporate PR BS: "How did this happen and how are you fixing it?" "Crowdstrike's update created a global IT outage, you can find more official info on their website. We're talking with them and trying our best to fix everything." "How long will it take to fix?" "There are manual fixes for customers, but we're working on an automated solution." "What kind of testing do you do before rolling out updates?" "We work with security partners and expect them to do their own testing. I don't know how this happened, we're just trying to fix it first before figuring out what went wrong later." "Do you think centralized tech monopoly is bad?" "People always find problems after such events happen, but I think we should learn from this event and create measures to prevent such a thing from happening again." "Should systems be more open to prevent things like this?" "This was caused by a third party provider and was actually caused by an open system, not by Microsoft itself."
These events are always something to smile about , did you notice that ? Duping delight is just one of those things that they can't hide as they turn this world into Bizarro land . It's no big thing to them , as they seem to have this uncanny ability to avoid the fallout of these events . Insider information helps them to be in the right place , at the right time .
I blame the World Economic Forum. They openly said that in there WILL be global internet shortages, so as a solution they want to govern (???) every person who uses it.
They did not force you to update anything. When an app needs any update it comes from the come that made the app. When I get updates for Final Fantasy 14 Online. It comes right from SquareEnix not Microsoft. Crowdstrike put out the update. There is nothing Microsoft can do to stop Crowstrike.

Diplomatic answers as usual.

Before pushing any update they must rigorously test, they didn't do it that's why this problem occurred. But she is not accepting that

Mind you, this is CrowdStrike specific machines that are impacted/affected. Hence, it's a third-party application that is installed into an open environment Operating System (MS Windows). MS does not have to be responsible for a third party app that has been installed by its customers. The customer and CrowdStrike are the one who needs to ensure that such software works properly in their environment.
That's not how 3rd party apps work. All Windows computers that did not have Crowdstrike had no issues. It's not on Microsoft to fix the the mess started by CrowdStrike.
They obviously didn't test it because it didn't work if they would have tested it it would have shut their computers down. The fact that windows can be shut down by updating another app is absolutely ridiculous and they should take some responsibility instead of just saying it happens.
any os can be shutdown by a buggy kernel level driver, the question is how well does it recover when you reboot. in this case the answer is that it did not recover, which is firmly Microsofts fault.

Why did so many IT departments fail to get the Bit Locker keys to be able to apply the corrective measures in a timely manner, like within an hour of the CrowdStrike fix? Does this situation reveal how ill prepared IT departments actually are to be able to manage their own infrastructure?

This is what's known as " Moving forward " or in old school language , " Progress " . See all of these people progressing slowly through the airports - Try to tell them this new , improved way is better .
In the end of the day, it's Microsoft fault. Was pushed by their update service to their product. If it was tested accordingly they would have catch the issue before send it to the world.
Am I the only person that finds it odd that…. A cybersecurity company (crowdstrike) would push security patches on the busiest travel weekend of the year? Is it not odd that of all the development testing technology used in pre-patch rollout and support from Microsoft that a “software bug” takes out countless fortune 100 companies and results in “the largest technological gaff in history”? Thinking more in this, given the risks associated with a patch like this I find it incomprehensible that a “software glitch” of this magnitude was able to get overlooked by such exhaustive risk mitigation measures that included partnerships directly with Microsoft using their own software. Ummmm No… I know this industry well. This was a cyber attack and it’s being sold to the world as a little glitch that somehow made it through testing. Id rather that we k ow the truth now rather than finding out in a couple years like we always do. This is how we lose trust in our government.
For this reason, I prefer my boombox to run linux, as it it is not a toy and you can have a profound impact on people's behavior I just prefer to play safe.
Wouldn't large companies have test systems they would install the update on first? Did they not notice the issue or was it a delayed reaction that would not show up in the test environment?
They have Test and QA systems, and they should thoroughly test updates before pushing them en masse. Also, there are iterations to an update like ver 1 ver 2 etc. where each iteration would fix issues/bugs in the previous iteration and all iterations should be thoroughly tested. In this instance, they pushed out an iteration that had no data or NULL data. Microsoft's OS could not handle this and started Blue Screening. I think someone (on Crowdstrike's side) made a mistake and pushed out the wrong iteration. Why was there an iteration with NULL data is beyond me. Also, there should have been safeguards on Crowdstrike's build process to catch something egregious like this. A lot of things had to go wrong for it to be pushed out. Also, as Crowdstrike pushed this out as a driver (think of very low level access...pretty much kernel access), Windows could not handle it. Finally, this driver loads pretty much at boot time. So, Windows starts to load, loads this driver and dies because of the exception. This is the reason that Crowdstrike is asking people to boot a different way where this driver won't be loaded and then delete the offending driver.
That's not how any of it works. Its on Crowdstrike to do that testing that is there job. If they are going to pass that on Microsoft and all the other companies then Crowdstrike should be paying them for doing there work. Its like when you get a new car. The car company that makes the tires should be testing them before they send them off to Ford, GM, Toyota, etc. If they are going to be doing the job Bridgestone, Firestone, Michelin, etc then they should be paying Ford, GM, Toyota, etc for doing there job. To put it this way. If I buy a new video game and the Studio does half the job and tells me and all the people that buy it to finish it YEAH NO.
This "feature"/potential for disaster is why I have been against cloud computing... Just think about how many outher CrowdStrikes are out there (and remember how many times MS forces updates on you)
0:42 "Think about if you updated an app on your telephone." I'm sorry, my what? 2:00 "They have such complex systems." Ah yes, windows. The company you work for. Truly complex. "Executives" is a fancy word for corporate politician lul
what is wrong with these technical experts? They don't say anything valuable on what caused the problems? Everybody is coming to cover-up the incompetency
Global dependency to one single product is a single point of failure.

The current issue is more like : you've hired the best security guard to be by your sides at all times but some day he mistakes you for an intruder and wrongly shoots you in the back...
Automatic updates, driver based software…. All points to hard recovery when things go wrong - and boy has it gone wrong!
The really odd part of this is the actual code in the 00000292.sys file which is the root cause is full of null objects (and I mean full, not just the odd few here and there).
Did something go wrong in the pre release QC? Was the code written with malicious intent by a bad internal actor? Fault in the code compiler process? Something else?
I don’t know if the truth will come out but if it doesn’t CrowStrike will lose customers more rapidly than they might hope.

Such a nice PR talk. Microsoft VP did not really answered a single question. Just some common phrases. Very professional ....
Tip. Do not give third party full access to your OS.
If the third-party can prevent the entire OS from loading then there is a problem with the OS.
Linux and Mac where not affected.
Exactly! What does windows has to protect their integrity being the OS.. like any random vendor app can bring down the core OS!!
This is not the first time this debate has been had. This harkens back to how Windows was written in the Windows NT days. Also, this is not the first time an incident like this has happened. It hasn't happened at this scale before because Crowdstrike is considered a golden standard in this area and is in a lot of Fortune 500 companies now. Not sure if it will be after this incident. As for MS stopping this, there needs to be considerable amount of overhaul in their core code. Don't see that happening anytime soon.
The year 20's is gonna be a whole assignment in history
They most certainly did not test this update prior to roll out. And for MSFT to assume they did exposes a huge vulnerability in their processes.
Hackers: 1. Crowdstrike: 0. And hackers didn’t even have to lift a finger
It is noteworthy that all the blame is directed at CrowdStrike. Microsoft must also be held accountable for permitting a third party to disrupt their boot process. Furthermore, C-level executives should be responsible for over-relying on single providers, thereby concentrating risk.
This situation highlights the perception of Microsoft as a monopolistic entity and raises concerns about its heavy reliance on H-1B visas.
shocking to see the caliber of Microsoft executive in mixing up Open Source Systems and Third party systems
Director: So is the nuclear safety system fine?
Operator: What system?
She saids they tested fully but this was simply an unexpected issue…. She does not have an idea of what testing reallly mean.
only newbies allow for immediate updates. There are options on iPhone and windows system to delay and pause updates for a couple of weeks . I am a Tech guy and let me tell you : Most updates are useless and include bugs or they add an unnecessary features or remove good features ... updates can also bloat your computer.
Apple systems , Amazon AWS, Google clouds are more advanced, Secure and reliable for example Apple do not allow Third party companies get involved with their systems , Amazon AWS created their own programming languages to run their systems so the programming language itself is exclusive to Amazon AWS so it is impossible to be hacked that is why most banks use AWS to store and manage the DATA

Two words class action
You should of asked, why did this only affected the Microsoft operating system and not others? And is it because of the way Microsoft os is setup, specifically it's kernel?
Facts..the same kernel that would've got BSOD by a bad driver in '98 smh at some point, you have to get that right..no third party anything should be able to ever cripple ANY OS. Not being able to boot is just not acceptable..too many critical systems..look at the amount of chaos human error caused..sheesh
I was expecting more in details from Microsoft VP, she explained really nothing, and for thing likes this to happen, it’s sign of big troubles of management and quality control, period.
I am so sick of dissembling out of people who hold too much power over us. Its insulting.
Por fin alguien de Microsoft explicando que pasó.
BSOD is an MS error... blame every third party, but it still is the OS failure to protect itself
how come Microsoft not applied AI to fix it right away? they've been talking about AI for last few months and its stock was spiked.
thats not how AI works
BSOD machines are not network accessible.
@@robbykoopman5559 especially when the issue isn't even on your end 🫤
Those machines are not even accessible.. Ai or anyone can't do anything...
At the risk of oversimplifying things, AI is also susceptible to the blue screen of death.
Need to focus on never letting this happen again and remove forced updates to be logically installed by different stages, non Essentials first then spread systemically but doing a verified check on every system that the computer turned back on would have stopped every update from the first one failed. Doing one test of a non-essential device to make sure that the sequence worked properly got a verified test before initiating the entire Corporation or system
...or the world (estimate is 1 billion systems affected)
Asking Microsoft if Open Source is the answer is like asking the devil if sin is wrong.
obviously, Microsoft and Crowdstrike didn't perform a table top exercise. a rollback plan could have solved the issue.
Since the beginning of Microsoft Microsoft has always had problems updating the windows operating system. There is something very wrong in the way they do the updates. My laptops have crashed so many times just with a simple update so do not blame it all on that security firm.
When you compare this interview with the interview of CEO of You'd Strike, the leader of the company that is actually responsible for the outage. You begin to understand why DEI is so important
The real questions that everyone should be asking is ...... What happened during, DURING the bootloop, because that's when anyone can access ANYTHING....and yesterday was an entire day of chances!
Complete waffle spewed by this woman
Fixed it myself but it took me two days. It was not just Microsoft software. Simply disconnected all hardware, rebooted all network systems, router, advanced wifi and passwords. It certainly was a clusterf though. Scary as hell to be shut out of every single functional program in my software suite and blocked from accessing all financial software, banking & daytrading, etc., and helpless to do anything about it. Definitely a warning about what may be coming. At least I feel better for now knowing what to do.
Without the corporate PR BS:
"How did this happen and how are you fixing it?"
"Crowdstrike's update created a global IT outage, you can find more official info on their website. We're talking with them and trying our best to fix everything."
"How long will it take to fix?"
"There are manual fixes for customers, but we're working on an automated solution."
"What kind of testing do you do before rolling out updates?"
"We work with security partners and expect them to do their own testing. I don't know how this happened, we're just trying to fix it first before figuring out what went wrong later."
"Do you think centralized tech monopoly is bad?"
"People always find problems after such events happen, but I think we should learn from this event and create measures to prevent such a thing from happening again."
"Should systems be more open to prevent things like this?"
"This was caused by a third party provider and was actually caused by an open system, not by Microsoft itself."
0 accountability, if everything done was in accordance to well thought process, the processes itself is under question
These events are always something to smile about , did you notice that ? Duping delight is just one of those things that they can't hide as they turn this world into Bizarro land . It's no big thing to them , as they seem to have this uncanny ability to avoid the fallout of these events . Insider information helps them to be in the right place , at the right time .
I blame the World Economic Forum. They openly said that in there WILL be global internet shortages, so as a solution they want to govern (???) every person who uses it.
Why Microsoft forces me to install the updates?
the update was from crowdstrike not from micrsoft, only computers ussing crowdstrike were affected
why so much data and not of a lot solutions
how about windows 11?
They did not force you to update anything. When an app needs any update it comes from the come that made the app. When I get updates for Final Fantasy 14 Online. It comes right from SquareEnix not Microsoft.
Crowdstrike put out the update. There is nothing Microsoft can do to stop Crowstrike.
@@evacody1249 Since the updates from app companies might cause windows to have blue screen, I think mircosoft should test updates in their own environment to make sure it's safe before releasing it to airports, 911, and hospitals.

And knows nothing
@@criticality2056 DEI
Diplomatic answers as usual. The pain customers might go through they have no idea. the solution to end customers will not be easy to implement as they will have to be physically sent IT guys at each machine, reboot the system in safe mode, find that update and delete it. Before pushing any update they must rigorously test, they didn't do it that's why this problem occurred. But she is not accepting that
So glad they are contentious to get global business back online. Only 1 Billion terminals running windows to be manually hacked to get them to boot.
Crowdstrike = skynet

This wasn't a windows auto update. It was an update that CrowdStrike pushed themselves into their own software.

This may have been a mismanaged Crowdstrike update, but Microsoft should never let an application Blue Screen Windows.
Mind you, this is CrowdStrike specific machines that are impacted/affected. Hence, it's a third-party application that is installed into an open environment Operating System (MS Windows). MS does not have to be responsible for a third party app that has been installed by its customers. The customer and CrowdStrike are the one who needs to ensure that such software works properly in their environment.
Crowdstrike has privileged level access to the Windows kernal, hence BSOD 😅
@@Tenzo7515100% correct. Boot into safe mode and clean up the bad cs files. What a pain in the a

They obviously didn't test it because it didn't work if they would have tested it it would have shut their computers down. The fact that windows can be shut down by updating another app is absolutely ridiculous and they should take some responsibility instead of just saying it happens.
Exactly! Microsoft Windows is full of exploitable gaps
any os can be shutdown by a buggy kernel level driver, the question is how well does it recover when you reboot.
in this case the answer is that it did not recover, which is firmly Microsofts fault.

The world is too dependent on microsoft…. Its high time businesses actually expanded their coverage to linux and macintosh so in case one system goes down there are still 2 more that can be used… its absolutely ridiculous this even happened
Yep that was just a dry run to see if they could pull off something bigger in November, we’re not stupid!!!
So she's the vice president of MS and she has a degree in communication, which is why she just waffled and said nothing. Does she even know what windows is?
Why did so many IT departments fail to get the Bit Locker keys to be able to apply the corrective measures in a timely manner, like within an hour of the CrowdStrike fix? Does this situation reveal how ill prepared IT departments actually are to be able to manage their own infrastructure?
Wow you know it's so strange how there are these Keystone jobs where there are people that are really important in integral to the entire machine that HR fires. If we got rid of the HR departments and the shareholders who had no actual value to the companies we could get things that worked again
This is what's known as " Moving forward " or in old school language , " Progress " . See all of these people progressing slowly through the airports - Try to tell them this new , improved way is better .
In the end of the day, it's Microsoft fault. Was pushed by their update service to their product. If it was tested accordingly they would have catch the issue before send it to the world.
I find it a little odd that the cyber security company dropped 23% 2 days before the outage happened
I think they are currently focused on getting the customers up and running as quickly as possible.
You mean scraping Windows and installing Linux instead?
so Microsoft is helping this company become better and the stock is down 40 percent to date. sounds like a buy.
Am I the only person that finds it odd that….
A cybersecurity company (crowdstrike) would push security patches on the busiest travel weekend of the year?
Is it not odd that of all the development testing technology used in pre-patch rollout and support from Microsoft that a “software bug” takes out countless fortune 100 companies and results in “the largest technological gaff in history”?
Thinking more in this, given the risks associated with a patch like this I find it incomprehensible that a “software glitch” of this magnitude was able to get overlooked by such exhaustive risk mitigation measures that included partnerships directly with Microsoft using their own software.
Ummmm No… I know this industry well. This was a cyber attack and it’s being sold to the world as a little glitch that somehow made it through testing. Id rather that we k ow the truth now rather than finding out in a couple years like we always do. This is how we lose trust in our government.
Apple and Google have saved the global outage with MacBook and iPad as their backup just my two cents 🤔
For this reason, I prefer my boombox to run linux, as it it is not a toy and you can have a profound impact on people's behavior I just prefer to play safe.
A perfect reason to switch to Linux. MS should never have allowed a 3rd party process kernel level access.
Wouldn't large companies have test systems they would install the update on first? Did they not notice the issue or was it a delayed reaction that would not show up in the test environment?
They have Test and QA systems, and they should thoroughly test updates before pushing them en masse. Also, there are iterations to an update like ver 1 ver 2 etc. where each iteration would fix issues/bugs in the previous iteration and all iterations should be thoroughly tested. In this instance, they pushed out an iteration that had no data or NULL data. Microsoft's OS could not handle this and started Blue Screening. I think someone (on Crowdstrike's side) made a mistake and pushed out the wrong iteration. Why was there an iteration with NULL data is beyond me. Also, there should have been safeguards on Crowdstrike's build process to catch something egregious like this. A lot of things had to go wrong for it to be pushed out. Also, as Crowdstrike pushed this out as a driver (think of very low level access...pretty much kernel access), Windows could not handle it. Finally, this driver loads pretty much at boot time. So, Windows starts to load, loads this driver and dies because of the exception. This is the reason that Crowdstrike is asking people to boot a different way where this driver won't be loaded and then delete the offending driver.
@@iamsahas8024 Made a mistake, or intentional?
That's not how any of it works. Its on Crowdstrike to do that testing that is there job. If they are going to pass that on Microsoft and all the other companies then Crowdstrike should be paying them for doing there work.
Its like when you get a new car. The car company that makes the tires should be testing them before they send them off to Ford, GM, Toyota, etc. If they are going to be doing the job Bridgestone, Firestone, Michelin, etc then they should be paying Ford, GM, Toyota, etc for doing there job.
To put it this way. If I buy a new video game and the Studio does half the job and tells me and all the people that buy it to finish it YEAH NO.
It's always been like that. Microsoft makes this kind of PLANDEMICS to make more PROFIT.

Real question | One company, a global tech outage. Should this be possible in this World? Are some companies to big?
Anyone who has used a windows pc isn't surprised. Not unlikely that Windows OS caused it as much as the other company did.

Stop using Windows. At the very least, stop using it on servers and kiosks. There are cheaper, faster, simpler and safer options for such tasks.
That's why I switched to Linux many years ago!
