So Much For Cloud Resilience! A CrowdStrike Bug Hits Windows
Medium ^ | 7/19/2024 | Prof Bill Buchanan

For the techies…. On Friday 19 July 2024, Microsoft reported that it suffered a major outage for many Azure services. This affected airlines, banks and media:…

CrowdStrike have already published a patch for Falcon Sensor, and which affects all of CrowdStike’s customers:

Restart Windows and boot into Troubleshooting mode 2. Open a command prompt 3. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike 4. Locate the file matching “C-00000291* sys”, and delete it. 5. Continue normal startup Overall, it looks like the Falcon Sensor bug caused Azure services to glitch, and which caused many systems around the world to fall-over.

I’m affected by this on my work laptop. I don’t think I can even get to the command prompt like they suggest because the morons I work for have the laptop so locked down.

Really, a Crowdstrike bug? Everything I am seeing says it was a Windows(of course!) update that took Crowdstrike down.

Crowdstrike: a company whose mission is to support the DNC and its leaders. Not to be trusted.

My daughter's an OR nurse. Her hospital's sytems were down when she began her 12-hour shift. All operations were on hold.

That happened to hospitals on the other side of the planet as well. All the hospitals in Thailand got hit today. Nobody can say it out loud, but cheap India software developer posers have become the usual suspects. Indians are the original AI chatbots, and thankfully, the first to be replaced by real AI.

Oh please, don’t even get me going on “Cloud” technology. The only reason for keeping things in the “cloud” is so someone else can control your data, your computing experience. I’ve always been an advocate for keeping my data close at hand, locally on an external storage device. I also keep that data safely kept ina Faraday bag/container. This is just a foreshadow of things to come. Trust me on that.

Re: "A CrowdStrike Bug Hits Windows"

It would be more accurate to say that a Crowd Strike bug hit Microsoft internet servers.

As far as I know, there is no CrowdStrike bug inside any Windows software.

Re: "Everything I am seeing says it was a Windows (of course!) update that took Crowdstrike down."

Please stop making up false stories, Mastador.

The CEO of CrowdStrike was on CNBC (Business News Channel) for half an hour this morning.

The CEO said a CrowdStrike update is 100% responsible for what happened.

The issue is NOT Windows.

The CrowdStrike software protects Microsoft Internet servers that process Windows.

“The Cloud” is just someone else’s computer.

Bingo. I wish more people understood that ... and the implications that follow it.

“Anyone here personally or professionally affected?”
I had to report to the local court house this morning at 0830 for jury duty. Everyone got checked in, then we sat there and waited. Finally, they came out and said that all the computers were down, the trial was cancelled and we could go home... Yea technology!

Every machine at my job keeled over, curled into fetal position, and cried starting at 12:44am.
Everything slammed to a halt.

Our azure data warehouse still isn’t loaded. A couple of our vendors are affected by the crowdstrike thing so no data files yet. We have also had sporadic azure capacity issues. None of my 4 fabric capacities automatically resumed service this morning. I was able to manually start 2 of them. The other two just say there for 30 minutes with a status of resuming. Later i was able to get them to resume.

Having been sentenced to a months hard jury duty this past year
, I am glad you got out of at least one court date.

The one time I showed up, the sewage system failed and the trial was postponed. We left.
