"You can't hack a system if the system doesn't work! "
- Cybersecurity intern pushing the update
Truly genius.
Definitely one of the updates of all time
this made me chuckle! Thanks!
Saw some comments on Reddit -
_Cant have cyber-security issues if you remove the users 😉_
Who would win?
Hackers all over the world VS Todd the underpaid intern with one content package
technically the truth 🤷♂
This is perhaps one of the closest things we got to Y2K.
I remember Y2K even though I was a child I remember everyone being freaked out about it. Everyone was preparing for the collapse of civilization in the oncoming apocalypse.
Here we are in 2024, no warning no panic, just a random weekday, AND SOCIETY COLLAPSED (not really but yeah the closest we're going to get to Y2K)
And we recovered a day after. We were, quite literally. Caught by surprise.
this is worse than Y2K because there's no excuse for whatever just happened compared to that
@@shadowsoulless6227 society did kind of collapsed not in apocalyptic way but like we cant do a lot of stuff, Hospitals dont work, airports dont work, and also in australia the court system is paralysed and cant do much.
Basically Y2K was supposed to be about twice as bad as this one
So yeah this is catastrophic. The only reason I typed this is because I prevent Windows from automatically downloading in metered connection.
I almost got hired at CrowdStrike as a software engineer for Windows sensors. Clearly, they should have hired me
Fr, You would've never let this happen smh
bro you should have put some sort of DEI in your resume to get hired💀
clearly
I don't know brother
It sounds more like you saved yourself from being thrown under the bus for this.

Same here. Waiting on the IT dept to give me my credentials so I can do work on our segment of laptops. So it will now probably take a long time to get everything instead of a few days 😬.
💀😶
To make it absolutely clear: All they had to do to prevent all this was test the update on a few Windows machines before pushing the update worldwide.
This is a multi-billion-dollar company and they didn't even test their critical software for even the most obvious bugs before shipping it out to half the world's IT systems. This is incompetence on an incredible scale.
And no one who is actually reposible for this going to get in trouble just some low level tech who told them they should not do it this way
EXACTLY!
almost every software companies ever lmao including video game companies.
They're likely going to get sued into bankruptcy for this at worst, and lose an extreme amount of business at best.
Either way, Cloudstrike is going to have a bad time, and they deserve it.
this is literally what the video says :)))))) bud thought he made something
I'm a registered nurse at the largest hospital in my state. It was a complete nightmare trying to chart, check orders, scan and give meds, etc.
Luckily, we had Epic Rover installed on our hospital iPhones so we still had chart access through this. It was super slow but we managed.
There are rumors that people died because ventilators and life support shut off. This isn't true. Ventilators, IV drips, etc. have been and probabaly always will be manually programmed for this very reason.
Yeah, I could imagine that having medical equipment being accessible by outside computers could lead to some less then savory results with the existence of hackers
Can confirm as somebody that works in a hospital, All ventilators / IV pumps are standalone individual devices that do not connect to any type of internet, anything done to them has to be manual. If the computer in them stops working it has to be shipped out to be repaired or someone has to come out to repair it. I think the only things we have that connect with the internet are the vitals machines which sends the vitals information to the computer, our glucometers don't have Wi-Fi but whenever you plug them into charge they download the information into the system.
@@AtZ-2424There was a Grey’s Anatomy episode about this
Really?
Hmm if you're from my state that deployment for Epic Rover was barely 2 years ago. It was so bugged for us in patient transport I was constantly on call with IS and had to have several hotfixes to do my job. Kinda insane it was this used this way.

Our inhouse systems were not touched. Not only do we not use the Crowdstrike software, we have backups on backups in case something like this happens. The worst we're having issues with our cloud vendors not getting data back.
I'm a truck driver that hauls AC liquid asphalt. I pulled up on the scale this morning to get loaded and their computers were down. They had to hand write the bill of lading and manually weigh me out. It was literally like 10 minutes faster of a process than having to wait for them to plug it into the computer and spit it out. 10/10, would recommend again.
True. Technology is not always good.
Right, it may have taken 10 minutes less for you but perhaps hours of more time for the rest of the process to be completed. That hand written bill and weight reading still needs to end up in a database somewhere as the data is likely used elsewhere.
@@mike406 I'm sure it is, but that's a them problem not a me problem. As long as I have to correct paperwork and hazmat handoff signature from the terminal to show to DOT if I'm stopped for an inspection I'm gone like Donkey Kong.

Same. I work for an international IT company and I am 1 of very few people who gets to play in 11 different ERP systems [dont get me started on that] and all the related tools which are different for each. I figured I'd have a really terrible day or really easy day if nothing worked. Oh and we use bit locker.

I work in IT for a very large enterprise.
The day started with a co-worker telling me about how this massive CrowdStrike bug is causing massive failures all over the world.
Meanwhile, all our systems were fine.
Why?
... We check every single update we push to our users in advance in virtual machines, and then later on actual work machines before pushing them out to users.
So, this was found, and not pushed.
Either that or we weren't using CrowdStrike at all.
Either way our incredibly important infrastructure was completely fine. We had barely any tickets. Calmest Friday I've seen in a while.
Edit: Yeah looks like we weren't using Crowdstrike.
Didn't realize it basically checked for updates at boot.
Wondering if something could've been done by using the DNS server to essentially say there's no IP to resolve to.
I'm sure there's a logical reason it couldn't be done even in a testing environment, but leaving that sort of testing to a third party like CrowdStrike really sounds like it was waiting to happen.
I don't know anything about computers, and my first thought was, didn't they even try it before sending out the update 😂
@@CrockbackColumbo exactly, how the f this bypass so many eyes.
@@CrockbackColumbo and it was supposedly a NULL pointer, literally one of the main beginner techniques that they teach you IN GOD DAMN C+ 101 lmao.
If you don't have the software suite licensed and deployed, then you wouldn't have CrowdStrike on your system at all. It is an Endpoint Protection Suite that must be manually deployed or automated through a script pushed by a cdn or server of some sort in nature. Just like BitDefender or Trend Micro.
Must be nice. We have to work over the weekend and our on call agent can’t even take a nap without the pager going off.
Here’s how I found out about this. I went to my local speedway and they posted all over the pumps “CLOSED, SYSTEM IS DOWN DUE TO MICROSOFT” and I knew I immediately had to come to mutahar
HA! Same thing happened at my Speedway, but I found out cause I work with banks!

Idk what you're getting paid, but you earned a raise!!
Because of this, the factory I work at couldn't print labels for all the crates... And within 30 mins, all the new hires, myself included, got sent home.😂
half the world probably got sent back home today 😂
Some of mine got sent home too, i didnt get that lucky cuz all i had to do is leave a note "not registered in the system" after finishing testing the product
Sick!
@@qweetqci damn that sucks
Do you still get paid?
It's surprising that it wasn't a ransomware that did it this time but instead from a cybersecurity company that made a faulty coding error. That is crazy.
thats what i thought this morning, especailly because on one of the computers in order to roll back software(before i knew it was a crowstrike issue) the computer wanted admin credentials for US Bank login. We are not us bank. Once I found out what was really going on my mouth dropped literally
Really makes you think just how vulnerable our infrastructure really is. Now that the testing is complete, lets see how long it takes for bad actors to capitalize.
@@uss-dh7909It genuinely astounds me how this shit ever gets not tested xD.

@@alarictheredboi276yearsago4 Ya, that college graduate who barely scraped by with his degree through calling in favors would _totally not_ push an update he didn't fully understand, and this isn't another example of having too much infrastructure centralized.
Too bad those companies who double checked this update themselves, and caught the flaw so they didn't push the update also suffered from this. Oh wait...
Well Y2K is back in fashion...
The IT team for the company I work for was crazy, the manager of IT called in his whole team a little after midnight last night and had them drive to all our locations and fix the problem before the morning shift started. Only a few remote users were left by shift start, and since all remote users were using virtual machines on-site, it wasn't as much of a pain. Also from what I heard from the IT person who came to our location, they just had a script they would run once they booted Windows in safe mode that would fix the issue. IT got to go home early (except for the IT manager who stayed to take care of any other IT-related issues) after not sleeping last night.
Bro your IT team deserves a raise for that, that's some heavy dedication to the job!
"We test our updates in production "
-Crowdstrike probably
I wonder if they pay beta testers
That's how Chuck Norris does it.
@EmperorMAP_Pride no problem. I will just report you. You are welcome.
"I too like to live dangerously" - Austin Powers at Crowdstrike
Yes, but almost as bad as that every system that was affected also just trusts their updates without testing
The one day where "have you tried turning it off and on again" isn't applicable 😂😂😂
But, have you tried? 😂😂😂
Except I have already seen a post where one of the ways to fix it was to reboot 15 times in a row :} so yeah "have you tried turning it on and off again?"!!!!
I hate to "Well, actually" but turning your PC off and on again repeatedly is one way to get into Windows recovery environment so you can boot in safe mode...I still like the joke though lol
@gff33-14 Reported your moon runes. Keep your hands off the children.
I feel bad for people in hospitals affected by this or people whose flights got delayed. But at the same time I can't help but notice both how ridiculously fragile the world's infrastructure is, and that your average person is completely tech-inept and has no idea what Windows even is LET ALONE how to fix their computer!
And what we don't know yet: there are a s**tload of HVAC and facility management stuff, industrial control software ,etc that only run on Win. Often with outsoruced support. It can easily take weeks to sort this out and I don't even want to think about the total damage :(
I know enough about technology to know it’s going to be a shitty work shift tonight
There we probably around at least 10 emergency room devices that were affected in the hospital I was scheduled to go to today (IT healthcare worker). I really hope nobody died because of that...
This affected one of my patients negatively and massively delayed care. Our lab was so behind and doing things manually. I didn't get crucial labs back until HOURS later. Laboratory diagnostics are so important in guiding medical interventions. Oh and our tube system was down. Half the computers on my unit were worthless. This surely cost some people their lives.
@@reaperinsaltbrine5211 Now I say its much low level Linux stuff out there down to stuff like routers and decoders, no front end outside an web page or app. Here user base to fix it is much smaller. Now these systems is simpler but its still a lot of variations.

But it's absolutely terrifying that one company, making one update, can cause this much damage.
Truly. Between this and Boeing/Airbus duopoly, I am terrified as what these companies will "oopsie poopsie" next
Yeah one of my customers was going to go on a month long cruise but the plane was delayed because of this and the boat wouldn't wait for them.
If Microsoft pushed a bad update (and they have), it would be worse. This only affects Crowdstrike users. Home users and people who don't have Crowdstrike are not affected. It's a simple fix.
What is more terrifying is that so much infrastructure is relying on these systems. It's like an amusement park for skynet. lol

Right above your comment is a Furry commenting on their perspective of what happened
crowdstrike already rolled back the update... sucks for the ground troops though that have to reset their windows fleet.
I can't even imagine the chaos that this misstep has caused. The magnitude of such a mistake is just enormous. The fix is indeed like y2k all over again. Really puts into perspective the fallout from even a small error in this hyper-connected world.
I work in corporate IT for an enormous company, I logged into work today, not realizing anything happened at all. You would’ve thought the world was ending if you were to listen to users. The high-level IT guys were pretty chill about what was going on once we realized. Honestly, we are more pissed that we seem to take more caution with our changes than they do, than anything else. I cannot adequately convey how unacceptable this is. Last week, my team nearly hunted down a product owner who wanted to push a change to production without testing for sport. We didn’t let him, we made him test it with us present, the update failed, as did the rollback. I cannot imagine the shitstorm that would’ve happened if we allowed this update to go out without testing it and it had crashed. That drop doesn’t even make it to the bucket of how big this crowd strike fuck up is.
At my company (one of the biggest international companies) it rolled out to random machines worldwide. I've been up since midnight. As just a taste, almost a thousand domain controllers were down. Not counting workstations, servers, ect..
"They don't take more caution than we do"... I'll take that bet.
We couldn't log in, had to write down our work hours on paper.
It happened ro us an hour past noon Philippines local time. We got startled because it started happening at first seemed randomly then it spread to the entire company. Then when we learned the AV update caused this we were annoyed specially when they gave us the resolution steps. Its so simple but heavy on leg work. Its kinda funny but annoying specially for the guys supporting this.
I also work corporate IT for a large company, and all I can think about is how many contracts they will lose over this. How many man hours will be wasted over this? It's massive!
I work in a blood bank at a major hospital and our blood banking and testing system is completely down. What a disaster.
wow.... fuck. a lot of patients gonna sue
Same, we have to reject patients because of it, we can't even give them an appointment time because that relies on Epic scheduling too
Damn. IT should've made the server push updates manually
@@NightridingDoom We do, thankfully, have a really detailed downtime procedure so everything is being recorded. But communication between us and the patient's care team is going to be difficult. They cant see our testing or if the test is still valid so its gonna be a whole lot of calls. Im off, but Im hearing all about it from my coworkers. Hope its up soon otherwise Ill be the one of two people to input everything over the weekend.
I really wish journalists emphasized how this affects healthcare too. Delayed flights are one thing, but patient lives are a different beast all together
I work at FedEx. This shut down our entire operation at pretty much every hub for over an hour. It's not just the office computers, it was also the stuff that manages things that help the facility run, the miles of belts that run through our facilities used to sort packages, various systems to verify flights and packages, and so on. So if your package going through FedEx is late for the next week or 2, that's why.
Bro yes I work for fedex express and this crash had us sweating
Well shucks
Jesus man that sucks.
I need my package my bro
For real my guy, I might need my shit
As a QA engineer, this is beyond my worst nightmare (though I've never worked for a company that has this kind of worldwide reach, nor do I want to). But mostly...HOW??? How was this not caught? I really want to know the details on the release validation and testing process...if they even have one.
Words are, the code was not updated but a datafile, which itself is tested.
The problem is, the signing process in the deployment pipeline failed, thus turning the otherwise correct file into a file containing only null values.
I'm not sure if it was all true, but regardless, a lack of canary channel and/or post-deployment testing is still a concern. Not to mention the actual code that didnt do validation on the datafile reading, which probably sitting there for a while.

Nothing more heartbreaking than coming into the office, witnessing a sea of bluescreens and then seeing yours boot up fine because you disabled auto update and shut it down before leaving on Thursday
Everyone else got a free morning and I i had to actually do my job 😂
Your "autoupdate disable" is not a thing that saved you. Because this driver is not provided by Microsoft, but by CrowdStrike via separate maintenance channel.
You probably just got late (which is kinda confirmed by you seeing sea of blue screens before you booted your PC) and CrowdStrike already disabled buggy patch on their side.
Or you just got lucky in some other way.

Honestly, monopoly laws should come into play here or new ones should be written because it is absolutely INSANE that almost every Air Service in the US and UK use the exact same security solution from the same company. One bad update and it knocked out all commercial air traffic in the western hemisphere. This was an accident, but you KNOW homeland security was absolutely shitting themselves before they discovered this was an actual bug and not an attack, and its still a very clear vulnerability.
At the very least there should be a law that states leaders in certain industries considered to be vital to the economy and infrastructure, like finance and transportation, should be required by law to have a certain percentage of their servers in more than one OS. If even 20% or 30% of the servers at the banks and airports were on Linux instead of Windows this wouldn't have nearly been as severe of an incident.
NAh...I think it's mostly just upper management buying buzzword BS...instead of asking someoen who actually in IT :/
And also they should not force push update in the large scale. I'm also view it as company's security department fault. The crash is instant if they just try the update in their department before push to the whole organization, they would know it instantly. The Crowdstrike ever make unix kernel panic (~Windows bsod) 2 month ago. But luckily that time, it's OS side fault. As user did not update OS at the same time, it is not affected mac/unix user in large scale. But this Crowdstrike/Security software often force real-time update lol when they're the on at fault, we're doom at the same time.
Monopolies ARE illegal in the U.S, but too many companies that HAVE become monopolies (Google/TH-cam, for example) are extremely powerful, have hefty pull in politics via lobbying, and often are backed up by politicians and play a big role in society, to some extent.
Let's just hope someone in the upper ladder will notice that it's probably best not to use the same system everyone else is.
I feel like they have like 23% of the market in that type of software. But alot of big companies happen to use it. 23% is a good strong number but I wouldn't say that's a monopoly.

The bad thing is that most people are computer illiterate and I am certain that most of the calls being made to that department, they haven't even acquired their bitlocker code.... meanwhile I have been on the precipice of completion for hours and simply cannot get the information I need :(

Here's the issue, we have to manually go into EVERY computer to put in the fix... However, to put in the fix we have to access our ya know access credentials, where we are also blue screened and not able to get... So were stuck in-between a rock and a hard place.
But this goes to show that most of our infrastructure should NOT be reliant on ONE single company, in any fashion. I mean remember AT&T, how 1/4th of everyones data was down? Or how 100s of millions just got their data stolen? What happend in Canada when a a SINGLE phone company went down, and 1/3rd of the population was screwed, and then this, half the world got molly woped. We. Should. Not. Be. Reliant. On. One. Company.
You will be reliant on Central Bank Digital Currency starting later this year, & you will not be happy.
I feel this. My company uses cyberark with MFA to get your personal Admin credentials. What a pain. The only real solution here is to have a local admin account on the PC. Which regulatory bodies will cry about to you in audits. We had to implement LAPS so that every computer has a local user account with a unique 16 character password that rotates every 30 days. So you aren't going to simply go computer to computer. Yo I have to search and recover the LAPS set password for every single PC to get in. Also combine that with bitlocker required on all computers.
It's almost like monopolies are bad.
Heh, I used to be in IT for a large company, IIRC around 50k users. When they build the machines they put a local account on them from the start, but the users don't get that account info, and you can't give it to them either. So even with a local account, booted into safe mode, a tech is still going to have to visit a LOT of PCs in person. Geographically, this encompasses the western half of the entire United States. :)

Ex-Y2K developer here. It was an issue for *some* companies and institutions (mostly banks) but it was nowhere near the issue the media blew it up to be, causing panic around the world. It was just a lot of leg work editing COBOL source code and some database rejigging.

Also major airports and hospitals being stalled is a very big deal.

If I had to deal with this outage during that, I would never fly again.
I work as a student worker at the IT department at my university. All computers that were turned on in the entire campus had blue-screened. Apparently my superiors were on the campus at 3-4 in the morning!! We had to go into the recovery tool and restart the computer in safe mode to fix it, by deleting the corrupted file in CrowdStrike's driver files. It's funny because for the past few months we just transitioned to using CrowdStrike from our old antivirus software. We had literally spent the past few months installing CrowdStrike on all the computers on the campus, and then this happens, lol

This event illustrates how screwed we can be when our systems go down. Imagine what will happen if the Internet went away for a week or so.

edit: apparently fake, kudos to the dude who made it. and is even spreading further currently. lots of simple things that didnt directly disprove it till you went out of that specific thing.
the guy who shoved the update out actually explained what was the cause. he did a code "optimization" on his first day, tested it only on 1 computer and then shipped it. a lot of these kind of software in my knowladge are always doing layered tests to see if the build broadly works across a good set of different setups to prevent this. the fact he only did it on 1 without coordinating with anyone is baffling to me.

This kind of thing happened a few years ago in Canada. Rogers, one of the "Big 3" Telecom companies in the country, pushed an update to their servers. And the person doing that, didn't properly check the update before uploading it. The update brought down all of their servers, and this affected not just phones, internet and TV, but POS debit/credit machines as well. There's a couple YT videos out there showing what happened and how it happened.
The flip side is the fix was server side and not client side so it was "easier" to fix and things were only down for about a day.
I remember that!
Yeah. The reasons debit cards went down is because Interac uses Rogers servers and when Rogers goes down debit cards go down but credit cards work most times since they don't use Interac debit. Interac should switch to a better ISP tbh since about a year ago all debit card purchases went down because Rogers went down for about a day

@@rabikhan589 ...I'm a dumb... right forgot about that.
And this is why automatic updates need to be prohibited by law. You should be allowed to roll out an update whenever you want, if you want, so that IT departments didn't have to get up at 5 in the morning to try and address someone's shitty code.

@@electricflixproductions Hmm, a few test machines with immediate updates and every other machine on a 3-5 day delay. If anything goes wrong with the test machines, a master switch to delay updates until further notice for everyone in the company.
