Global IT outages due to Crowdstrike got the whole world shook up (The FAA has grounded flights from Delta, United and AA)

Brother, Why so many layovers?

I didn’t plan the layovers, it happened due to all the issues from yesterday. Even though Southwest’s systems weren’t affected, it still made delays for everyone collectively. My first flight was so behind, that I missed my connection and that was the only flight plan they could give me to get to NYC last night.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Yup this ended up being a nightmare for me. Had to work on a Saturday and OT on Friday. Its one thing if the fix/situation was interesting but its essentially for non-IT folks going to a folder, right clicking a specific file and hitting delete. Obviously there is more to it with that many systems there are a bunch of annoying as fukk variables and ultimately you need to physically touch each machine. fukking annoying.

Very simple

You could write a script to just delete that file but you have to safemode into everything… thats where the issue lies

They fukked up

Nah fukk that, this is when our values really shine. Teams would be on gridlock if not for IT teams solving issues. Problem is it works like pandemic healthcare workers. Heroes while the shyt is up in the air, "cost center" when it is fixed.Gotta add a little flame to the smoke every now and then for folks to act right.

I knew a guy who managed the complex software that used to run out production systems. He who would shut down the assembly line every now and then so people would appreciate him.

I’d be in his office and he’d go “Watch this.”

Then the ops manager would run in his office panicked and he’d go fix it. They looked at him like a hero each time.

Microsoft/Windows is the monopoly

Apple & Mac OS has entered the chat….

Weird that Crowdstrike didn't test their content updates on the most prominent operating system

Also weird how Crowdstrike badmouths Microsoft to customers and organizations.

Hmm.

They won't be able to hide behind that TOS this time. If the Government doesn't start regulating these crooked tech companies. They'll send us all back to the stone ages eventually.

CrowdStrike's terms and conditions say most customers would just get a refund due to the massive outage, cybersecurity lawyer says​

CrowdStrike terms limits damages to refund in most cases

CrowdStrike and cybersecurity insurers can expect years of lawsuits after a botched update sparked a devastating outage.

• CrowdStrike's terms cap liability to fees paid, limiting compensation for affected companies.

• Unless you're a big company that negotiated other terms, you probably need to deal with cyber insurance.

This is the 2nd time CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz has been at the center of a global tech failure

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz was the CTO of McAfee in 2010 when another security update caused millions of computers to crash around the world.

CrowdStrike broke Debian and Rocky Linux months ago, but no one noticed

CrowdStrike recently caused a widespread Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issue on Windows PCs, disrupting various sectors. However, this was not an isolated incident, CrowdStrike affected Linux PCs also.

Was at DTW yesterday and flight got cancelled, they needed 2 Flight Attendants, but their system is so jacked up from scheduling, it's causing a ripple effect to other flights. The plane was there too. Saw a Phoenix and Denver flight get cancelled also.

Avoid DTW and ATL brehs, Delta is still getting hit the worst, but this is becoming their fault because they are slow to get back to normal. Looks like United and American are back to normal operations.

Another reason why I won't fly Delta again.
