The excuse is someone with fat fingers typed the wrong code, is that even possible that there would be no warning flag before you hit send?

With #Microsoft down, several coffee shops and shops that have gladly told us
they can’t accept cash ever again, today have no card machines working and
ARE accepting cash.

Oh so it does have its uses?

it's human nature to just click OK on an "are you sure" dialog, thats why these things happen all the time.

A lot of the process can be automated, but there is always human interaction at some point in the process

Not when the code change is potentially site-breaking, let alone globally site-breaking .

No Nicky
Microsoft changed to a Cheaper outside site
they employ Crowdstrike to update their
Security.


So Microsoft
sacked their internal team
then paid less to the the outside company





Microsoft 100% to blame

[Nicky91]

well Microsoft couldn't have known that Crowdstrike are of bad quality? given many big companies use that one

Sure but the have Back Ups that Failed

[arista]

One major problem,
the Airplanes will not take off
unless the other Nation is Accepting them.

Typical
Blue Screen says Recovery in the top
right corner,
and
(it looks like windows hasn't loaded correctly)


But it is not all fixed yet.

[Nicky91]

according to the NNCSC (dutch national cyber security centre) people who aren't affected by the outage to not install the update, those who are affected need to recover the system manually


this problem is accidental, not intentional


the CEO of Crowdstrike George Kurtz has said the problem has been identified and isolated and they are working on delivering fixes on a global scale




most small hospitals in my nation don't have this problem anymore

[arista]

London Taxis only taking Cash

No Cash - no journey.

[arista]

"delivering fixes on a global scale"


Yes Nicky so he should
this accident has caused trouble
across the World.
