How a shoddy company brought the world to its knees.

Millions of Microsoft-based devices worldwide, were affected by a CrowdStrike-related outage on July 19, 2024.

What is the Crowdstrike issue ? | The BSOD -- a Microsoft innovation ! | Deliver us from evil

Ver.: 2024-07-20a

The worst hit were airlines, banks, Press, hospitals, businesses. Who's going to pay for all the chaos and the damage caused ? Who will be punished for this blunder ? When ? By whom ?

They say cancer is incurable, especially when a cancer (MS) is infected with cancer (viruses and anti-virus remedies like crowdstrike). According to several reports, the glitch of July 19, 2024 was a result of an anti-virus update issued by CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm that helps Windows provide advanced security. The remedy turned out to be more painful than the disease.

Why do cunning culprits go scot-free ?

The worldwide stink

Here are some some memories, courtesy BBC :

The remedy which was more painful than the disease Thousands of flights have been cancelled, with banking, healthcare, 911 services, and payment systems all affected

BSOD never fails you ! Another ridiculous (and embarassing) experience with BSOD

Did we miss the way out ?
