what you said! Testing for a crash/election day
This is one of the reasons I always delay my Win 10 updates the maximum number of days possible. By the time my machine updates, the problems have been dealt with.
👍👍
“Because of the popularity of index funds, the companies that provide the most popular index funds, Vanguard, Blackrock, and State Street are the largest institutional share holders in almost all publicly traded companies.”
Shhh. Don’t tell them. They are on a roll. :-)
Maybe someone was testing the “fix” that was planned for late October but accidentally went “live”. If so, heads will certainly roll.
On a personal note, my niece has been on a mission trip in Peru for the past 10 days. Her fight home was supposed to be today, but now she is not sure when she will be on her way.
She has been going yearly with a group that builds churches and school rooms for small villages since she was a teen. She is a very conservative third grade teacher and enjoys the opportunities she gets to teach and read to the children.
So, if you are a praying person, please say a prayer for “LB” that she arrives home safely. She also has federal jury duty next week and the judge refused to excuse her until a later time.
I’m sure lawyers are already digging into terms of services contracts and coming up with strategies...and they may be finding the risk of cloud software may outweigh local control after their losses have been realized. May even impact SaaS approaches depending how bad it ends up being.
I read one posting that indicated it may be weeks to fix everything, while other reporting is saying they can reverse it overnight.
They’ll add more DROP BOXES.
I suspect the summer intern. “It’s only a few lines of code, let the intern do it.”
Russian airports have completely avoided worldwide disruptions - they exclusively use domestic Linux systems and DBMS (database management system) in their work insulating them from Western “communication network failures.”

LOL! Our home’s main desktop system is Linux. There is something to be said for it during times like this.
A screw up on this scale should put Crowdstrike out of business for good. It is hard to imagine that they would have the financial resources to compensate for the damages they did here.
Wikipedia claims it must be fixed one computer at a time—obviously a disaster for large scale operations.
I do not have the technical expertise to know if that is true or not.
Some Court systems are down too, including Los Angeles Superior.
The windows machines at my work were fine. No interruptions getting into email, network resources, etc. However, the time clocks were all in off-line mode for those that used them so they just had to accept punches, but weren’t able to verify someone was supposed to punch in at that time, etc. And can’t upload The daily punches into the timekeeping system. No workaround for that yet from the vendor
From everything I’ve read, this cluster didn’t matter if you were a cloud customer or on premise. If you are unlucky enough to use the crowd strike software on your servers or local machines, and they were on overnight when this, virus definition update, got pushed out, you were screwed.
Anybody in IT has seen this coming, making your websites, your mission critical software dependent on external platforms. Like today, there are two or three they could be taken down and it will shut down most Internet traffic around the world.
