A global tech outage Friday grounded planes, sent offices offline and disrupted multiple industries. Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike says it identified a critical problem in its software and is working to fix the issue. Justin Cappos, professor and cybersecurity expert at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering, joins CBS News to explain what caused the outage and when things could return to normal.

It's time for companies to switch to Unix/Linux based servers. The fact that Windows is such a poorly designed operating system that it requires a third party driver to protect it, makes it an undesirable platform. CrowdStrike couldn't have tested their roll out, so they are directly to blame. The fact that Windows allowed CrowdStrike to install a defective driver is Microsoft's fault. The lawyers and courts will have to sort out what the damage $ are. I switched to Linux over 15 years ago. Switching has proven to have been a great move on my part.
Windows Defender should be enough without installing other programs which could be malware.
Will this be Highest record fines event?

So how do I remove crowdstrike from my system completely?
What do You say When given a Job ,Youre Not ready to Do ? You say , " ImNot ready Yet : Croudstrike said ,Gimme the Money ,
One file!
Interestingly enough!?….it's only The Microsoft Windows computer OS were the Only ones affected by this and never the Google Chrome MacOSX Linux and Amazon Fire OS….I really wonder on why!?
My bank was shut down yesterday 😂 what the hell happened?!
Test run for election night. Watch out for the BS!
Tldr: it'll stop when people start using Linux instead…
Thank you! Finally someone says it how it is.

I used to work in IT. Can't help but imagine the nightmare of working IT for a large company right now, and every PC on the network has the blue screen of death. That's Stephen King levels of nightmare.
Are there alternatives to Crowdstrike? This company has no business being in business.
I like that not even the News Reporter can contain her giggle from the irony of a cyber security company causing worldwide Windows failures

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
When people get on neurallink expect this!
Criminal charges against Crowdstrike have to be in the works from DoJ . No way this can go without reparations and repercussions.
Everybody just simmer down, this is Microsoft. These are not outages, virus, or issues. These are called upgrades, enhancements, and special features like heated seats and moon roofs.
When that manager only hires Indian students
Crowd strike fundamentally is a dependency in the most vulnerable place in the process. NEVER CLOUD HOST THE COMPUTER’s INDEPENDENCE… DUMBEST SOLUTION AROUND

I had stressful day at work could not use my laptop for 6 hours because I was stuck in an endless blue screen loop and in first hours IT had no idea how to fix it
Yesterday was a big win for CrowdStrike. Finally a virus protection program that disabled the most prolific spyware program on the internet – Microsoft Windows.
I think this disaster should be an issue in DevOps operations.
Sabotage? Just an idea ….
There's no one using crowdstrike software on their windows pc at my office thus we're pretty much unaffected yesterday.
Maybe it just did as its namesake says. 🤣 it is bill gates baby after all.
If this is actually a bad code problem and this happened because of a "Glitch". Then Crowdstrike has the power to do this on purpose and assuredly WORSE! Why in the hell does one company hold that much control and power over millions and millions of people and institutions around the world? Especially in my United States of America!
Thats one FRUSTRATED employee who skip testing of code😂
🤣🤣🤣 windows. Linux users would have a few giggles on this.
Windows: no response
Linux: just use me
Microsoft is not a secure operating system and never has been.
It's the most hacked operating system in history.
You don't put zillions of computers on the same file stack floor plan so 1 virus or bot code can take advantage of all of them .
The most surprising thing about this fiasco is the Linux fanboys being relatively quiet about this. Generally when something like this involving Microsoft (no matter how slight its involvement) comes up, every second comment is about how good Linux is….
This is the reason updates should always be manual, NEVER AUTOMATIC.
Its the Rise Of The Machines.
😂😂😂😂
My trading account is still down
Protect yourselves 💪
Isn't it questionable that this happened right after Trump gave his first speech after the assassination attempt to draw away from focusing on him? coincidence? I think not! The media downplay the assassination and this is just another step. I just don't know how could anyone vote for Biden at this point.
They have all the tech and they did not even use their own customers AI (Microsoft) to check their proposed update.
Crowd strike, brought to you by Pfizer

CONGRATULATIONS all the forced upgrades has led to this, for my part I refuse upgrading and am successfully avoiding tech. obsolescence for my computing and mobile needs : once again CONGRATULATIONS !
My flight got cancelled yesterday due to this incident!
