Summary
Hey Strangers, #crowdstrike #explaing #cybersecurity Major IT outages have hit industries across the world after a CrowdStrike update issue pushed global IT systems offline and prevented Windows systems from starting up. Flights are grounded in airports around the world, hospital systems are offline, and global TV channels and news broadcasters have been taken off air as a result of the incident. Everything from banks and payment systems in supermarkets is also offline, and companies from a range of industries have said that they would also see delays and technical issues throughout the day. Tracking website Down Detector has registered outages and problems from companies from a range of different industries around the world: Delta Airlines, Visa, Mastercard, Lloyds Bank, Santander, Amazon, RyanAir, Sky News, Ladbrokes, BT, and Microsoft Teams all show issues. It’s not yet known whether all of them are linked to the problem with PCs. Many of the UK’s NHS systems are also offline. In a statement, the health service blamed the outage on an issue with EMIS, an appointment and patient record system, which is disrupting the majority of GP practices. "The NHS has long-standing measures in place to manage the disruption, including using paper patient records and handwritten prescriptions, and the usual phone systems to contact your GP." "There is currently no known impact on 999 or emergency services, so people should use these services as they usually would." ======================================= My other podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw ************************************************** Something Strange https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRjVc2TZqN4&t=4s ************************************************** article links: https://em360tech.com/tech-article/global-it-outage-crowdstrike https://www.businessinsider.com/crowdstrike-ceo-george-kurtz-tech-outage-microsoft-mcafee-2024-7 ====================================== Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discord https://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxq TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoder Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangers Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangers Twitter https://twitter.com/strangestcoder merch Support CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.
