Three lessons that should have been obvious for years: 1. Never release a software update on a Friday or the day before a holiday. 2. THOROUGHLY test every update before release. 3. Never concentrate vital computer functions affecting millions into the hands of just a few people in one company. If this is what happened WITHOUT hostile hacking, imagine what would happen with a real attack. Or as a result of a major solar storm. The fragility of the system is dangerous.
If I understand you right- The number of basic missteps that had to occur to cause this is very questionable. It’s like the Secret Service fiasco all over again. I see smoke.
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?
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!
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.
It's quite concerning to ponder the potential disruptions this outage may bring if it persists. Our dependence on the internet for various aspects of our lives is truly significant.
This is what happens, when updates are pushed out to quickly, and updates cannot be stopped, just paused. Microsoft and other companies, should go back to old times, where computers can be set to manual updates, instead of pushed updates, forcing updates to be installed, thereby increasing the risk of virus spreading, or like in this case bad coding!
As someone who had worked in this area for two and half decades I could assure you that bad updates are a reality for a long time. Proper testing before pushing them is the key to ensure something like this doesn't happen. Unfortunately many companies don't hire experienced people who understand this and also they don't test them thoroughly.

Wrapping my head around this like John boy Walton: “It happened in New York City. Something they call Wall Street, uh, crashed. And they had to close the banks and then there wasn’t any more money. I don’t rightly understand it myself.”
This is NOT a ‘Microsoft Outage’ The problem originates from CrowdStrike’s software alone, and MS has absolutely nothing to do with the disaster that unfolded.
I agree it is not fair to label this as a 'Microsft outage'. BUT this just shows how vulnerable Windows is if a faulty driver and bring down the entire OS. Seeing how easily this issue happened once computers received the update, this issue should have been easily detected if Crowdstrike has done proper testing. And if Windows has a way to prevent faulty drivers from constantly crashing the OS, this issue will not have this kind of impact.
Me and my family were stuck in Amsterdam for two days because of the outage. Hell, we even slept in the airport because the company couldn’t give us a hotel.

No, they certainly had tested it, but there was a hole in their testing protocol. I have worked in software maintenance, software development, and software testing. Computer systems have become so complex that it is impossible to ensure that they are free of errors.

There's a fundamental difference in design between Windows and Linux. Linux has a relatively small kernel that doesn't change much. Most of its functionality boots as its own process. If a piece crashes, it doesn't take down the kernel. Windows has an extensive system level kernel that must link third-party libraries like Crowdstrike into its process space. If these libraries crash, they take down the system kernel and jump to the BSD. Regression testing for large systems is usually automated, but it depends on synchronizing the releases of Microsoft Windows with the library. If the third-party release is out of synch, even by one subversion, it can cause testing to pass and fail in the field. This is why they do selected pushes to less critical users rather than a universal push.

his answer on "computer not online"(1:30) is misleading... he should have said, "the crash prevents the machines from getting online and therefore an automated reversal is not possible".
I'm a (retired) software engineer and I was not misled. People who are not educated in computer systems don't need to be told the nuances. They just want to know when things will be back to normal.
That’s why WSUS is important. Have to filter the update first and test it on some computers in order to make sure the update will not affect installed applications or worst, OS.
We need to go back to doing things manually, or at least have a manual back up, you mean to tell me that when the computers go down we have no other option, and no back up system in place, this is a very dangerous world we're living in when we leave everything to technology that's running our world.
Updates to that scale should have been performed gradually and not like that way it was done. It makes me wonder whether they have actually tested the update and checked the different potential scenarios.
That’s why Testers need to be considered!! These days companies trying to get away from testers and ask developers to perform Testing which is worrisome!
I went to a hospital Emergency Department the end of June and their system went down for 4 hours. Every single thing had to be written down. It was bizarre
WHY are our systems so vulnerable that if there's an outage in just one company, so many things go down within a whole continent? That's just crazy!! It's is a recipe for a major disaster that's most likely just around the corner. Too many vital services depend on one internet company. Reply
It's not like literally all Windows computers bluescreened. Just the ones using this weird enterprise cybersecurity program that has kernal access for some reason. This stuff was basically malware before the big crash.
I thought the same thing. LIke, what would happen if this outage had affected voting machines, power grids, and other infrastructure on Nov 5? Also, with "all hands on deck", who would have time to go vote with this hitting the fan at work? Very unlikely that this was simply "an accident". Sort of like the AT&T outage earlier this year. They said it was a glitch but then a bunch of customer data (including mine) got leaked. Can't tell me this was an accident :)
@@MHPAM sort of like the AT&T outage earlier this year that was supposed to be a networking glitch that actually turned out to be a data leak. I’m an AT&T customer that was notified a few weeks ago about my data along with millions of other account holders, data being stolen or leaked. Funny thing when I asked AT&T to send me a report of what part of my data was leaked they sent me a report that was incomplete. I have my doubts this crowd strike situation was just a simple error.
This is why I am not connecting my PC to the internet just yet while i stay connected using my Android phone. I can still use it offline. Also just to be safe, there might be hackers who would take advantage of that situation.
The best time to apply a hack is during an update. Let this be a lesson that everything needs to separated.There cannot be one issue that affects every user of microsoft. IPhone hard to believe this was not a hack because they would first release the update in a controlled situation.And then if things went well , they would release it
Entire healthcare systems are down. Patient appointments cannot be rescheduled right now. We can call out to patients but they can't call in. Imagine waiting for lab & MRI results & needing medication refills and the nurse calls & you miss their call & can't call back!! Some patients procedures are also being cancelled because everything is being written by hand slowing down the process & going back to old school charting. Appts are cancelled for less risk of medical error 😵💫😰
So will all businesses who lost revenue or profit during this outage be compensated? It seems very irresponsible to install an update that was not tested first on a smaller scale. This is ridiculous and many companies and banks and people lost out on money. This has even affected the medical and pharmaceutical industry. They need to be shut down after everyone is compensated. This affected MILLIONS of people. You cant jyst say sorry and write this off,heads need to roll.
(A) It is not a Microsoft event; (B) It was apparently an upgrade to Crowdstrike software. It seems to me the fault is at Crowdstrike. It is well-known that software developers do not test every possible fault in their software. Given that, why was this software upgrade circulated so widely? Why wasn't the software tested in a more restricted area first? It seems like the height of irresponsibility to upgrade the software throughout the world without adequate testing. Are we saying our chief security company Crowdstrike is not up to the job?
I don't think we know whether there is a vulnerability in the Microsoft software which is a contributing factor. My view is that the two companies have shared responsibility, unless proven to me otherwise.
2:31 “...they test, and they test, and they test in all different environments...” At this point, maybe *fire QA* ? If they test this much and let something like that through... then what is the point of testing?
You are suggesting that missing one serious defect after yesrs of delivering trouble-free software implies that they should stop testing their software. That doesn't make any sense. They will study the failure in depth and decide how to make improvements to software quality assurance.
Thankfully it didn't crash my computer. but still, this is a Very serious issue that School Bus Transportation Alex, INC. will be aware of if they existed and saw that on the news and they'll call it a serious concern
It was a badly written, obviously never tested properly, KMODE driver. (Kernel Mode) Just say it, dude. He isn't the only 'cybersecurity expert' living on this rock.

If this is what happened WITHOUT hostile hacking, imagine what would happen with a real attack. Or as a result of a major solar storm. The fragility of the system is dangerous.
That third point is the one that drives me crazy. And there should be a fourth: Never rely solely on AI to do your update auditing for you.

No one tested the update before release.
And you believe that (lie)?
@@ValeriaM1983How can we not? You believe this is the first time?🙈
DEI hiring really seems to make things interesting at least. Software down, planes crashing, ....so much cultural enrichment.
That’s why WSUS is important. Have to filter the update first and test it on some computers in order to make sure the update will not affect installed applications or worst, OS.
When they tell you it wasn’t then you can 100% believe it was 😂
If people think that was an accidental outage, They are firmly mistaken
I don’t usually test my code, but when I do, I do it in production!
Skynet went live.
Skynet is a China based company and has been live for awhile. Comforting, no?
We need to go back to doing things manually, or at least have a manual back up, you mean to tell me that when the computers go down we have no other option, and no back up system in place, this is a very dangerous world we're living in when we leave everything to technology that's running our world.
Updates to that scale should have been performed gradually and not like that way it was done. It makes me wonder whether they have actually tested the update and checked the different potential scenarios.
That guy said days or weeks and we were up same day…
Payday was supposed to be today but now theyre saying Monday
That’s why Testers need to be considered!! These days companies trying to get away from testers and ask developers to perform Testing which is worrisome!
Everyone who isn't from Microsoft are laughing at this.
Countless people who have been inconvenienced by this are not laughing.
They might be laughing but this isn't Microsoft's fault.
I went to a hospital Emergency Department the end of June and their system went down for 4 hours. Every single thing had to be written down. It was bizarre
Not that bizarre. My local hospital fully computerized the charts only about 12 years ago.
Crowd Strikes stock is about to go into a recession. 😆
Today it will decrease. It will go back up. Certainly not anywhere near a recession, two consecutive quarters of value.
@@doloreschansey9556 It was simple sarcasm.
It went down in the early hours, but it has spiked back up in the last few hours. Market traders making a killing right now!
@@CaptainMarvel007 And that was part of the game plan. Good for them.💯
3:56 So Spirit Airline customers basically rioted, but not Delta’s. Must be some sociological concept that can be explored.
WHY are our systems so vulnerable that if there's an outage in just one company, so many things go down within a whole continent? That's just crazy!! It's is a recipe for a major disaster that's most likely just around the corner. Too many vital services depend on one internet company.

Most technologies are intertwined. Window/Google are major companies that are used at every company.
It's not like literally all Windows computers bluescreened. Just the ones using this weird enterprise cybersecurity program that has kernal access for some reason. This stuff was basically malware before the big crash.
this will be the day when they change the protocol from mass update to section update/verify and then move to the next section.
Was the Crowd Strike update written by AI???
probably
Or a very, very cheap indian.
To those PC/laptops the best option is to disable auto update, or disable it for a month. Wait for the news if the dust has been settled.
The blue screen of death uhh...worldwide uhh..Gods favorite color is Blue..huh is he trying to tell us something?
Weeks ?
1) run Macs and Linux hardware 2) air gap your mission critical systems 3) table top your cloud provider going down.
In 30 years Microsoft could not fix the Blue Screen Of Death. This is the reason why I like the Mac.
Too much control for one company a result of the mergers and monopolies.
More nauseous effects from mainstream media
Where is the AI management now?😂
Wonder if this is a test run for the November election.
I thought the same thing. LIke, what would happen if this outage had affected voting machines, power grids, and other infrastructure on Nov 5? Also, with "all hands on deck", who would have time to go vote with this hitting the fan at work? Very unlikely that this was simply "an accident". Sort of like the AT&T outage earlier this year. They said it was a glitch but then a bunch of customer data (including mine) got leaked. Can't tell me this was an accident :)
yall are crazy, it's confirmed to be caused by a major software error from a security update
@@MHPAM sort of like the AT&T outage earlier this year that was supposed to be a networking glitch that actually turned out to be a data leak. I’m an AT&T customer that was notified a few weeks ago about my data along with millions of other account holders, data being stolen or leaked. Funny thing when I asked AT&T to send me a report of what part of my data was leaked they sent me a report that was incomplete. I have my doubts this crowd strike situation was just a simple error.
What is the nationality of the company or the employee that did the mistake at crowdstrike?
I have 10 bucks on the programmer being an indian.
Basically they didn't test the software update
This is why I am not connecting my PC to the internet just yet while i stay connected using my Android phone. I can still use it offline. Also just to be safe, there might be hackers who would take advantage of that situation.
Im suppose to leave back to Cali this sunday from Atlanta Delta. I hope i dont run into no trouble man
The best time to apply a hack is during an update. Let this be a lesson that everything needs to separated.There cannot be one issue that affects every user of microsoft. IPhone hard to believe this was not a hack because they would first release the update in a controlled situation.And then if things went well , they would release it
You think today was a zero day kind of situation?
Someone forgot to test the software change before it was deployed!! This is why you need software quality assurance.
This is just a testament that WINDOWS is the operating system of choice for productivity.
My Xbox not working bruh wtf
What about hospitals and pharmacies?! 😬
Oh, yes, they’re affected too. My hospital uses Meditech - we had no issues. I believe anyone that uses Epic is in downtime.
@@Airraca That is horrible. We are altogether too tech reliant!
Entire healthcare systems are down. Patient appointments cannot be rescheduled right now. We can call out to patients but they can't call in. Imagine waiting for lab & MRI results & needing medication refills and the nurse calls & you miss their call & can't call back!! Some patients procedures are also being cancelled because everything is being written by hand slowing down the process & going back to old school charting. Appts are cancelled for less risk of medical error 😵💫😰
they should prepare their lawyers and pay checks the lawsuits are coming.
This is what happens when you have a monopoly over any market. When you mess up you ruin everything.
They are lying
So will all businesses who lost revenue or profit during this outage be compensated? It seems very irresponsible to install an update that was not tested first on a smaller scale. This is ridiculous and many companies and banks and people lost out on money. This has even affected the medical and pharmaceutical industry. They need to be shut down after everyone is compensated. This affected MILLIONS of people. You cant jyst say sorry and write this off,heads need to roll.
(A) It is not a Microsoft event; (B) It was apparently an upgrade to Crowdstrike software. It seems to me the fault is at Crowdstrike. It is well-known that software developers do not test every possible fault in their software. Given that, why was this software upgrade circulated so widely? Why wasn't the software tested in a more restricted area first? It seems like the height of irresponsibility to upgrade the software throughout the world without adequate testing. Are we saying our chief security company Crowdstrike is not up to the job?
I don't think we know whether there is a vulnerability in the Microsoft software which is a contributing factor. My view is that the two companies have shared responsibility, unless proven to me otherwise.
@@GH-oi2jf - Nonsense. The responsibility is solely with Crowdstrike as the security company that can't even bother to test its upgrades properly.
These guys are too professional to be messin up like this
I believe its people trying to hack us
"The system had a conflict with Windows Operating System"..... FFS does crowdstrike not test their code? Pffft pathetic.
It’s just like MS making the public it’s beta testers to. They fired their QA team around the Windows 10 period. Good thing I left for Linux.
I think someone was trying clock off on time that day and just decided to skip testing.
Doesn’t matter it only proves how vulnerable we are today the world can be shut down within a minute. And they want to be rid of cash .No way.
Whoops
2:31 “...they test, and they test, and they test in all different environments...” At this point, maybe *fire QA* ? If they test this much and let something like that through... then what is the point of testing?
You are suggesting that missing one serious defect after yesrs of delivering trouble-free software implies that they should stop testing their software. That doesn't make any sense. They will study the failure in depth and decide how to make improvements to software quality assurance.
a clash between Microsoft & Windows
Thankfully it didn't crash my computer. but still, this is a Very serious issue that School Bus Transportation Alex, INC. will be aware of if they existed and saw that on the news and they'll call it a serious concern
Hello CBS MIAMI !🇺🇸
How convenient
How sure that the issue was not intentional or not an economic sabotage?
It was a badly written, obviously never tested properly, KMODE driver. (Kernel Mode) Just say it, dude. He isn't the only 'cybersecurity expert' living on this rock.
I have recollected the movie Jurassic park 1 scene 😂
Shut it down and give it 10 seconds.😂 IF ONLY IT WAS THAT EASY!!
News tells you 5-10% of the truth including the weather l.
It is impossible to know 100% of anything, including the weather.
We should believe all CEO's.........
