Have you tried unplugging it, then plugging it back in?
-
This is what happens when critical software isn't treated as critical software.
-
The irony of a cyber security firm being the root of the problem is hilarious to me.
-
This is what happens when software updates are pushed and installed without user review and consent. IT departments used to actually work on these kinds of updates to decide whether they were needed/wanted and safe to deploy. They would sandbox a test case to make sure it was solid before deploying systemwide. This is a direct result of ceding that power and responsibility to the software providers. How many times has a windows update messed up your machine?
-
As someone who works in tech, being the guy whose single bad code commit caused a worldwide outage costing billions is my recurring nightmare.
-
They send a reporter to the Spirit Airlines desk where “emotions are spilling over.” Emotions are always spilling over at Spirit so everything is normal.
-
This just proves how insanely vulnerable we are to computer technology. Insane.
-
Traffic lights and major things in the government shouldn’t even be connected to the internet we never used to need it
-
With cybersecurity like this, who needs criminals?
-
This is what people thought would happen back in 1999 when the year 2000 would start 💀
-
LOL We used CrowdStrike when I used to work in a SOC. I got fired for arguing a ton with management about the tools they choose being bad. Talk about feeling justified.
-
Don't ever make one piece of software become the critical infrastructure for everything
-
The irony of cybersecurity software bringing down machines is not lost on me
-
Who needs a hack when you have an update.
-
Yep when relying on technology alone and not having a backup plan when it goes wrong it goes really wrong,imagine being in a totally cashless society
-
It's weird how so many companies rely on 1 company for their critical infrastructure. We had airports and news stations in the 90s and this never happened.
-
This is exactly why we shouldn't monopolize everything.
-
this is what people thought Y2K would be like huh
-
Sounds like the start of Skynet.
-
No way the system called “Crowd Strike” just Struck the whole Crowd 😂😂😂
