Have you tried unplugging it, then plugging it back in?
😂😂😂

Literally that is what the fix is, if you can get in that is.
No, Steve, I have not tried turning it off and then on again.

As someone who works in tech, being the guy whose single bad code commit caused a worldwide outage costing billions is my recurring nightmare.
any serious company wouldn't blame the dev who make the error, but everyone else who didn't catch it as well as the person who set up their QA and release processes
That's a dream, not a nightmare.
Wait until they find out it’s just a missing bracket
They were too busy playing Counter Strike 😅
Delusions of grandure much?
This global internet outage is insane! All airlines grounded and i was stock the airport and even banks, media, and offices from the U.S. to Australia. How can CrowdStrike have such a monopoly that could help restore such a massive amount of tech?
It's pretty concerning. If they can fix this, what other control do they have over our infrastructure? or are we truly in the matrix?
Right? It makes you think about the stability of our systems. But hey, I barely spend time online. When I checked my portfolio with Desiree Ruth Hoffman, we were still in the greens. That’s been the case for 16 months straight!
Wow, really? I've seen the name Desiree Ruth Hoffman before but can't figure out where.
Probably from her forecast on Nvidia before the pump. But how are you in the greens with all the fluctuations due to the election and everything else? Can you share her strategy?
Honestly, just schedule a call with her. She has vast knowledge in finance and really knows how to navigate these times. I handed over my portfolio to her so I can focus on my family. These days, things just get scarier and scarier.

As a IT person we are told to never roll out a update on Friday because if it goes wrong then there is a good chance it will affect the weekend where a lot of IT staff don’t usually work.
Don’t blame the person who rolled out this patch, I blame the management as this patch should have been fully tested before being applied to such a high number of devices.

Except, airplane were going to fall out of the sky. Otherwise, yes.
Y2K came 24 years too late
Nah. People thought Y2K would be worse. We expected power plants to shutdown and everyone's bank account to be wiped to 0
Yes. But software engineers prepared for Y2K, so because they prepared, it LOOKED like it was no big deal.
This just proves how insanely vulnerable we are to computer technology. Insane.
Also suggests how amazing and useful it is.
@@dougthomson5544 use DVDs use cash use paper
I don't agree. I think this was a spectacular one-off testing failure, combined with reckless rollouts of software updates. Heads are going to roll at CrowdStrike, that's for sure, and early reports are that a lot of their customers are jumping ship (CrowdStrike is one of many competitors that provide a similar service).
@@hyperteleXii Till it isn't. Prudence is more amazing. Many, myself included, were born and raised without computers. We managed to build airplanes without them.

As an IT professional that spent his career in high end enterprise computing: all I am hearing is word salad trying to suggest industry incompetence excuses the situation. In the late 1970's three basic principles of big systems design were: 1. Design to be as secure as possible. 2. Design to have no single points of failure. and 3. Design into the system redundancy which can cope with the work if there is a failure. The last 24 hours have demonstrated several single points of failure and the disaster recover plan which is essentially a well spun PR campaign telling the public "its very complicated, its not our fault, we have the world's best people working on it". Gone are the days when competent people designed and ran the big critical systems. The most important qualification criteria in the industry nowadays is low cost and arrogance. The brains of the industry are engaged in massively profitable software where they might get a share of the IPO and the left overs run the worlds critical systems. The only real positive I can take from this outage is we will have a period free from news on which of the incompetents running for high government office are leading the herd ...

Our society is more fragile than people want to realize.

I am ready . Prepare now
And we have chosen to make it that way, supposedly to make things more efficient and have fewer mistakes. Operations are more efficient and there are fewer mistakes than there would be doing things manually, because human beings make mistakes. Someone made a mistake with this software update. The question is not whether there are fewer mistakes, there certainly are, but what the consequences of each mistake are.

Right? I was just sitting here wondering how a company with a name like that gained the trust of businesses world wide. I mean, it's right in the name, lol.
This is why you test an update before you friggin deploy it world wide.
Yes for sure. But even then about 2% of failures will not be seen in the testing. The true fault lies with Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft Windows AUTO-UPDATES to the ENTIRE INSTALLED WORLDWIDE USERBASE within 24 hours, does not do a snapshot-rollback if reboot fails, and does not flag to take the update down out of the cloud if a certain percentage of the first few updates fail to reboot. All elementary basics of professional design for mission critical infrastructure. And all COMPLETELY ABSENT from Microsoft Windows.
@@Äpple-pie-5k this is why I disabled winupdate through the registry. than manually enable it when im satisfied with the updates.
They probably did test beforehand. But does their test environment reflect the live environment?
@@Äpple-pie-5k can’t stand windows
Moved to apple long ago
Early Access
This is what happens when software updates are pushed and installed without user review and consent. IT departments used to actually work on these kinds of updates to decide whether they were needed/wanted and safe to deploy. They would sandbox a test case to make sure it was solid before deploying systemwide. This is a direct result of ceding that power and responsibility to the software providers. How many times has a windows update messed up your machine?
You are correct. I’m retired for several years now, but when I was working we would ALWAYS sandbox every third party vendor’s update before allowing it to be deployed on the real systems. But I think that security updates today don’t follow that rule. The reason is that security updates are rolled out to counter known threats that are already out there. The belief is that you have to roll out the security updates instantly because you could be hacked with the known threat “any minute now.” No one wants to risk delaying a security update. Internal testing takes days or weeks. If you get hacked while you’re still testing the security update, you’ll be on the carpet for “why didn’t you install the security update right away?”
The other possibility is that the flawed update may have been on the 3rd party vendor’s own servers, in which case you have no control over whether or when the update is done. We don’t know yet whether that’s the case.
@@DouglasJWilkening Another reason software as service is not a good idea.

Canadian Prepper has warned us about this. And many more prepper channels.
"Shuttered". Shuddered is when you get very cold.
I've been saying this since 2001.
Yep. Our world has become extremely complex year over year, which is amazing and brings a lot of benefits. Though, the thing about a system being extremely complex, the more complex it is, the more important moving parts it has, if one of those important moving parts fails to function, it can send the entire system into a catastrophic standstill.
Basically, the more complex something is, it eventually becomes a house of cards that gets more complex bringing more prosperity and benefits yet becomes equally as more and more vulnerable to being very fragile unless its built on strong foundations, which our system has proved it doesnt have.
More like a house of toothpicks lol.
A few years ago I was taking a business class and one of the lessons was never letting all your business infrastructure rely on one software or hardware. You need redundancy. You need backup systems. This is a perfect example of this.
The real lesson is never let critical systems run on Windows, if a crash takes down any critical infrastructure. And NEVER do massive automatic updates to an entire installed userbase simultaneously. A proper opt-in-for-when-to-upgrade exposes the problem in the first 10 or 20 who do it, whereupon the parent company can immediately pull the update out of the cloud. This is so elementary ABC-123 that I cannot even imagine how it's possible that multiple Fortune 500 companies are affected by all this.
@@Äpple-pie-5kthat is also the wrong idea you need diversity and redundancy. The same av company has Linux kernel drivers one mistake and entire cloud systems could go offline. Your management servers could brick themselves.
@@Äpple-pie-5k Large Fortune 500 companies are highly secretive about which security software they use (for obvious reasons), but apparently CrowdStrike's customer base was quite a bit larger than some realized. On the other hand, no Apple or Linux system was affected, the Internet backbone was unaffected, and actually all non-CrowdStrike equipped Windows computers were also unaffected.
@@Äpple-pie-5k You still fail to learn the "never letting all your business infrastructure rely on one software or hardware" lesson. You better do.
Man, we are never going to hear the end of this from the Linux crowd.
... and rightly so.
What do you mean. Most Linux users systems break with every other update lol
Don't for the Mac users! 🤣
@@Aramis444depends on distro really
@@Aramis444 What? Maybe hobbiest Linux users break every update (because frankly as a hobbiest, it's easy to do when you're running bleeding edge software all the time) but industrial Linux? Redhat, CentOs (RIP), Alpine, Debian? Those are all rock solid and have been carrying the internet in their back since the damned thing was created. Email? That's a Linux POP server that's been running for 30 years with no issues. Version control? That's another Linux server running without issue, ISP signals and traffic? Guess who?
Linux at the corporate level doesn't really "break" as often as you'd think. Releases like this listed above are solid and have BEEN solid for decades. Why? Because whenever an issue pops up, it's not up to a single team at some company to fix it, rather the Linux community can put their collective heads together and squash it.
The biggest Linux snafu this year was the XZ backdoor, which was squashed in less than 6 hours.
A non-security issue at a major security firm IS a security issue. Don't try to double-speak me.
orwell mentioned
my thoughts exactly
Don't let your ignorance drive you to paranoia. Computers are complicated. It is, in fact, possible for a bug in the security software to cause the computer to crash *without* compromising the security of the computer.
It's like a car. A bad timing belt can mess up your car, but it won't unlock all of your car doors. The functions of the underlying systems aren't connected like that.
There was never an update. It WAS a cyberattack. They wont admit to it however
imagine being this conspiratorial

This has 100% to do with their QA department whose sole job it is to test software before it is released.

@@Nameonly67 Has been the position of IT since companies started using computers.
There's a wise saying of which I don't remember the author: any technology advanced enough will seem magic to people who don't understand it. That's IT. Everybody expects it to work, but doesn't understand the huge effort and the time required to make it work reliably - IT managers included. That has put us into a situation where most programmers work on systems they don't trust to work reliably - they expect them to fail. That's an assumption programmers can work with - they can design and implement systems that expect and graciously handle failure, and recover automatically. Unfortunately, non-IT decision makers rarely accept the added costs of building such systems.

Crowdstrike is available for Linux too.
This is not a windows issue. It is an issue for a specific program that is avalible on all platforms. Windows makes up the majority of computers in the world so is also the majority of these instances.
Linux is not more secure. It has plenty of vulnerabilities. Even worse is that they use a lot of open source packages that are maintained by who knows.

Too late, they got the AIs to take over and run everything like the news.
Which are coded to follow DEI, and censorship to support the current narratives
This is why you always click "don't update now" when the update window pops up on your phone.
Learned that with my very first iPhone (4s). Update bricked my phone. Now I wait a couple weeks before even considering an update
We seem to have the same idea.
Bingo, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I also have auto updates disabled, especially phone apps, can always just update as needed.
Didnt my old samsung for 4 years , pressed update jist for fun and my sim card stopped working and it wont recognize any new simcard and there is literarly no solution to the problem even factory reset doesnt work.
I never update anything unless I absolutely have to.
A single point of failure. Never good.
You mean centralizing critical internet functions doesn't make the web stronger? Sorry, trick question.
we have peaked
@@CaptAppleno critical internet functions were involved this is desktop security software that monitors laptops / desktop computers for threats like viruses, employees or random USB drives. This one company has out competed everyone to dominate that space, and every company wants to monitor their employees….
@@CaptApple But it's really really important to have automated deployment of updates so everybody gets security updates to our kernel level software at the same time.
It's really critical to uh... Security
@@peter65zzfdfh I'm hearing that you didn't understand my comment. Yes, it's a service, critical to it's clients and served through the internet by a company with a major share of that market. Critical function. Internet served. Update fail affecting clients around the world. Directly playing against the strength and resilience of the net which comes from decentralization.
Sounds like the start of Skynet.
This is what happens when you fire the subject matter experts in an engineering company for cyber security. C suite played themselves
I'd say thst this is what ot looks like when you try to replace all your SME with AI.

I love the idea of people being like ''what, your systems are down and you cant get planes in the air or even print out boarding passes?! Why haven't you updated the boards or sent out emails/texts!!?"
It's concerning to know that one single publicly traded company has this kind of widespread reach over computer systems around the world
I wonder if that company is even an American company 😕⚠️Probably not😮
@@theemeraldcity94 are we thinking Russia? Back in the USSR?
No one forced these companies to use this DEI security company. They are responsible for vetting those that are given access to their critical systems.

Israel handles a lot of US security and surveillance. It should never be outsourced to any foreign country regardless of their status. Everyone has an agenda and power gives them the upper hand.
Ikr, it's shocking that basically all computers in the world run windows. If companies computers are using critical infrastructure, they should run linux

This is the Y2K event that was supposed to happen in the year 2000, but it occurred 24 years later.
It was using Internet Explorer
And the world hasn't ended yet. Nothing falling out of the sky. Power is on. No mass hysteria.
Nah just an incompetent corporation 🙄
@@AGalacticMergerexplain please!
@c.eb.1216 u didn't see what fell in NY a couple days ago? NJ and NY residents reported booms and shaking days before.
As an IT person, I am not surprised this happened. Companies treat IT employees like garbage, underpaying them and treating them as expendable tools, undervaluing their actual worth and dismissing their concerns for security and productivity. I changed careers and moved into field technician work for healthcare equipment after a few years of IT. I don't feel pity for the companies who let this happened.
Yeah you would think we would be at the top of the food chain because nothing runs without us maintaining it. So may people making twice that do less.
"It's not a security issue, it's an incompetence issue"
I use Mac, I will be fine. Sorry for your problems though.
Yes it is. Someone's head needs to roll
Never tell people the truth
Secret Service approves this message 🇺🇸
@batsonelectronics you clearly have 0 understanding of the extent of this issue. Its not just affecting windows computers, its also affecting various industries' software systems that use microsoft azure or crowdstrike for login services or other connections
This is what happens when the world is hooked on ONE operating system.
It's actually not. The entire Internet backbone -- which stayed up just fine and was unaffected -- uses NO Microsoft Windows software. And all Apple, Linux, and non-CrowdStrike computers were unaffected.
@@richarda3659 That's the good part

@@ungenannt8774I was scared to death of August 29 1997.
@ungenannt8774 what's Aug 29??
i realize this isn't funny but as a person who has worked in several IT departments, the idea that somewhere there's an IT specialist who forgot to run an update and the world ended is just too good lol
This is what happens when you are too young for job training and your boss is too old to understand what is going on
....? skilled labor, isn't cheap.....Cheap Labour ....isn't SKILLED......are we ?
Seriously if they figure out who exactly (an individual human being) was responsible for this, not only should person be fired, but prosecuted. Causing this big a global catastrophe should be criminal
This is why you should listen to your IT people and not balk at them when they say you should spend a little more to be more reliable.
So with CrowdStrike, who needs Cyber Attacks?
One could say, CrowdStrike has STRUCK again :)
Iam surprised so many use it
To be fair, this is 99% the blame of Microsoft Windows. Bugs happen. But don't bring the world down when the OS update/snapshot/rollback system is properly designed.
What do people think companies are gonna be able to do? They think if they yell at the staff loud enough that the company will just magically make the worldwide outage affecting practically everyone on earth go away?
It's a very analog way of thinking, back when staff had more authority over much simpler systems.
@@doujinflip Analog is Better! 😁
"What do people THINK..."
They aren't doing that at all my friend. They are just reacting. The same way that an infant cries to communicate trouble. "Wahhhhh" doesn't require logic
@@jaygorippa6746 We aren't allowed to think, just FYI. They give me a guide and I do my job by the guide or I lose my job. I know I'm doing my job wrong, but also I still need to get paid and this is what they said to do.
I don’t think the vast majority of people understand how fragile the system they live in truly is.
Now the geeks know why smart people keep automatic updates off. This is one of the problems we warned was with cloud computing.
I wish I didn’t watch the Netflix movie, Leave The World Behind, because now every computer issue freaks me out.
Same here!
BINGO!
For real I watched the movie too.
Our President told us all of this through that movie
That's not far from happening though...
This is how fragile the system we live under is no computers no services

We’ve become so dependent on computers it’s become toxic
I’m all for having computers where it’s absolutely needed such as our online banking, Internet, and certain other areas, where computers are actually helpful and healthy
When we become so reliant on computers that the world stops just because the computer system crashes, that’s where it’s become completely unhealthy
Back in the days before computers, surgeries were still being done very successfully, and patients were making full recoveries
It sounds to me like there’s a whole lotta dumbbells out there who don’t know how to do stuff the old-fashioned way, and they need to go back to school and learn a few things about their history
If you become so reliant on computers, that the world stops when the computer system crashes, then it serves you, right!
Serves you right, you’re the one with the problem if you don’t know how to do stuff the old-fashioned way before computers
@@optimusprinceps3526 Papyrus scrolls never fail
If it were a cyber attack, would they even tell us?
Nope
This is a good question.
If it were a cyberattack they would obviously say so. Anyone who says "no they wouldnt" doesnt know how it works.
We know it isn't bc they released a report on how to get around the bug. You literally just delete a file after loading into safemode.
And they would tell bc we would just find out if not.
Take off the tinfoil hat.
Best. Comment. Ever.
This is what happens when you let your Windows update itself unchecked. These companies that let their production environment update itself without Policy is the issue, not the bug itself IMO. This just shows how many production environments are not well handled and maintained.
The fifth horseman of the apocalypse: software updates
🙄
I tried to disable updates for this very reason but this "update" was unavoidable, well not to hackers and whatnot but I ain't up on all these computer information systems.
🤣

“It’s not a cyberattack” oh…so it’s incompetence then? That’s actually worse.
Can’t get hacked if your computer doesn’t boot up.
Skynet just got activated
I have been up since 130 am fixing our systems thanks to this update.
Putting everything on the cloud had very predictable consequences and THIS is it.
Not really the issue here. Peoples on prem servers are getting hosed.
has nothing to do with cloud services silly goose
@laory1808 it doss when you controll your updates.
@@randyg.7940 it does not, because this pertains specifically to Windows machines running CrowdStrike endpoint security.
there are cloud issues, this is not one of them.

Your company's fault for allowing this company to push updates into your critical systems when it is clear they do not have a functional QA department to test their releases.
@@silverwolf6866their company probably didn’t have control over the update. You can’t control the update if your using services dependent on Microsoft or Crowdstrike 😥
Your company pushing updates without canary testing them first is _your_ company's failure, not a failure of the provider. Haven't heard of any company with a dedicated IT department pushing updates this way.
The newbie reporter at the airport did a great report on the fly!
Why do all the worst computer problems involve Microsoft Windows?
Cuz all the computers run windows for 25 years
Market share
Also windows holds like 85 percent of the market share. People target windows operating systems for cyber attacks because it's where the money is. If it is a software update then it's a cloud strike problem. Hopefully it's not a bad actor in the company.
THIS!!! ^^^
It's very popular, so more people are affected
Absolutely disgusting and irresponsible 😡!! This outage could cost people their lives in some cases!!
You don't need a cyber-attack when you have this kind of issues. For the millions who missed their flights and companies that lost money, how are they compensated??
Software company: Uh did you read the fine print?
It was too hot yesterday, where’s my compensation?
lol no one. That's like asking who is compensating me when my train is late every other day.

It is not of essence if this was a cyber attack or not. It shows how vulnerable our automated systems are to all areas of life. In a real cyber attack these problems would be compounded. It is gross negligence to solely rely on automation. Can we please learn a lesson from this?
