Global BSOD

Not a great day to be in the Cloudstrike sales department. They may as well cancel all client calls and go home for a few weeks.

To be fair the sales team are probably sitting looking at a BSOD

Using your own security product is surely high risk? If it goes down you aren't just screwed, you can't even fix the issue!

Well I picked a good half day to have off

Half the stuff at work was just coming back online.. then leave yay.

I noticed the Tesla app was working but some sites had an issue. I'll check tomorrow morning and give charging a go.

Love the technologically advanced way of dealing with this at Edinburgh Airport

Must have a wrist of steel come the end of the day.

When I saw something similar to this, but internally, the finger pointing was rife. It was everyone for themselves!

coroporate collective responsbility went out the window in the 90's. It's dog eat dog and someone will use this as leverage to get further up the corporate ladder no doubt. The coder who built the release is probably sweating blood or more likely holding his P45. The IT QA/compliance group should also take some flak this as they clearly didn't properly dry run the IQ/OQ before rolling it out to production

Guess I’m working a decent company Seen multiple errors made which have affected global brands and there wasn’t any finger pointing. Sure if the same thing happens for a second time questions should be asked along with some finger pointing.

Good time for MS to sell Microsoft Defender for Endpoint!

just exposes companies who don't have hygienic software deployment schemes
... so if the genuine russian pirates had done some kind of dns intrusion to deploy a bogus release, having hacked appropriate certificates

It's been a few years since I did much work with Windows servers, but I don't understand why this has affected so many companies - I'd normally expect updates to be tested in staging / pre-production environments before going to a live system

Did all these companies have Cloudstrike automatic updates on in production systems? That seems pretty crazy to me!

Yup - it's like AV signature updates afaik. All automated, no staging.

Its not just windows servers.

I'm pretty sure the last company I worked for that did a lot of stuff with Windows servers tested AV signature updates in pre-production environments.

That's a shed load of additional work for a team considering those updates are daily if not multiple times a day

We had PCs with BSOD after they auto updated live overnight having been left on.

Interesting, thanks.

Its not just windows servers.

It's only the MS platform, isn't it?
