Crowdstrike causes wordwide computer troubles - GoFuckYourself.com

Tasty1 · 07-19-2024, 01:23 AM

The global IT outage caused by a failed Crowdstrike software update can apparently be fixed by booting Windows into Safe Mode and deleting a file. This means millions of Windows machines need to be booted and fixed by hand.

This could take days to accomplish and could be extremely costly. No information right now suggests this is a cyberattack. But if it was, it may be a supply chain attack where malicious code was injected into the source code without detection. Nothing to suggest that yet.

Also, this isn’t a “Microsoft outage,” but a bug in an automatic update of Crowdstrike’s software. At this point, only machines running Windows appear to be affected, but the issue is Crowdstrike’s and not Microsoft’s. Windows systems not running Crowdstrike are unaffected.

Yep this is mega Y2k level event, Good Morning America!

Here in Aus everything is fucked, banking and airports down. Friday night in Sydney which is basically a cashless city, even the casino has shut. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/...tage/tiss839u5

Early fixes offered was to disable/delete crowdstrike which is going to cause as shit load of security issues.

official fix is now:

Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment

Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory

Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.

Boot the host normally.

---
Some companies have thousands of users affected all needing manual fixes.. at present. Computers wont boot BSOD

"The worst is yet to come, it's still early morning / night in America. In the coming hours, millions of computers are doomed to bsod by unsuspecting users just starting up their machines..." This is by far the biggest IT disaster ever.

~30 years ago I figured the internet would kill print. Didn't realize it would also kill itself.

Its crazy that anyone is still using Windows today, let alone the most important businesses, even the aviation industry within the US.

Windows was unreliable shit when it started and is still unreliable shit today.

A little glimpse into the future, where all the money is digital and your whole life will depend on an internet connection and the will of the people in power.

Luckily, the western countries will adopt this first, so there will be places to escape to.

We need cash. Our enemies wish us to be without cash so they can cripple us with simple electronic interference.
A cashless society is a stupid society and will be defeated.

No surprises there with Thiel and Musk on board, how dare the Government think they can tax their foreign earnings when there's hillbillys to pay it.

Just a matter now to find out which country gets to run the central, China would love, Ruskias seem to think they're entitled and then there's the usual culprits of the Bahamas and South Amercian tax havens.

1000% this.

If you want a hyper-feminized, complete nanny state that makes sure everyone and everything is in perfect compliance all of the time, keep voting for Trudeau-style governments!

The future is being built for boomerism to be the default way of life.

I can't wait until the lawsuits start.. They better make sure to keep the crowd strike CEO away from any tall windows.

I hope like hell this puts a chill on all pushing AI on everything. However we all know it wont because the Tech Bros see too much green money to worry about the disasters they make.

I was about to buy the CRWD stock when it dumped under $300, but I thought its better to wait still. Lawsuits will be in record highs...lets see if the company can even survive all that.

They all sit on each other's boards and have golden parachutes. That's the whole idea behind corporations. No human is liable.

A1 sauce on everything.

The herd just proved their cluelessness. Wasn't 80% the final score? They lap up whatever's served.
