At the time of writing, it seems Western air and land national transport systems nuked by blue screen of death. It's a spreading issue, payment systems down in Saudi / UAE. Intentional or not this is basically a worldwide cyber attack. Message is US software = malware, ransomware, and spyware.

CRWD stock down 20% as of writing.

it’s worldwide

Hypothetically since the U.S. has declared a cyber attack an act of war, would Biden accuse Iran or North Korea of this cyber attack as a cause belli to save his administration from trump? Would Sullivan and blinken?

Message is, thats how extensive the US hegemony is. One US company (Crowdstrike) is so embedded to the world that any US Gov directive to it, could shut down the entire world more or less.

There is still a long long way to go to dethrone the US

After looking into this it seems Crowdstrike pushed out a completely fucked up kernel driver update. It wouldn’t have mattered if it was Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD or whatever. All monolithic kernel designs will crash if a kernel fault happens.

This is why you shouldn't grab latest updates. I am surprised corporate IT don't test them out for a week+ before releasing it out tobthe rest of the company.

Corporate IT wouldn’t as a matter of arse covering principle.

If they rolled out latest updates immediately and Microsoft shits the bed, it’s on Microsoft. If they delayed rolling out an update and something happens, it’s on them.

Negative. To have a throne, you need to be uncontested. US which has failed it's bid at global control even as far back as losing the Korean war and even today has not come closer to defeating it's main rivals.

We recognise them as a contender for the throne, but a throne they have not.

From what I heard it wouldn’t have mattered if IT had that policy. Crowdstrike forced the update straight into production and ignored their client’s update staging rules. There needs to be a serious investigation as to what went wrong. This is one of the worst IT outages in history
