OSTechNixUsers are blaming Microsoft for the global outage. But the actual culprit is CrowdStrike. #Crowdstrike #Meme #WindowsOutage #MicrosoftOutage
Norobiik @Software made by #US #cybersecurity company was intended to protect against crashes and disruptions in vital systems โ it ended up taking them down.
What is #CrowdStrike and how did it cause a global #WindowsOutage?

DankHoly crap today was a nightmare! We couldn't get past the "Blue Screen of Death" on the computers at work for most of the day. Everything was on handwritten receipts and we had no access to our parts catalogs or inventory systems.
Of course two people called out too ๐๐๐
I'm over today and glad to be home
P CImportant lessons from the #windowsOutage :
1. Latest and #greatest may not be what it is claimed to be!
2. #Phased rollouts anyone?
3. #CuttingEdge can cut you if done improperly.
4. #Backup and revert? How often and what systems you have and how often you test that?
SubtleBlade โ๏ธThe current wide-spread #WindowsOutage is akin to what would likely have happened if the #Y2K bug had not been well dealt with *in advance* [disclosure: I helped a wee bit with preventing Y2K issues]
