Outage seems to be indiscriminate

Whatever the cause, I'm sure it will be interesting.

Cause is Crowdstrike update being fubar.

Seems to be mostly fixed here in Australia. At least the shopping center payment services were up and running.

There was also an azure outage right before that.

Some people were confusing the 2

"Microsoft said the “preliminary root cause” appeared to be “a configuration change in a portion of our Azure backend workloads” that “caused interruption between storage and compute resources which resulted in connectivity failures that affected downstream Microsoft 365 services dependent on these connections.”

This is brutal. I actually have to interact with my coworkers.

A sequence of events that must have started in the bowels of hell finally concluded this morning, and crowdstrike took down large swathes of the Internet. I had an early morning. Others have had an earlier morning. Many will have very, very late nights.

Banks, airlines, universities, stock exchanges, take your pick. All requires manual intervention.

Heard a report on the radio that crowdstrike pushed an update that causes the patched systems into an infinite recovery boot loop.

Yeah, this has hit my company. Web email services are hit or miss. Some systems blue screened. Fun day for me.

Yep. My company is experiencing this now. Been working since 6am

'Crowdstrike'... not 'Cloudstrike' 👍

lol I don’t always rezone San ports, but when I do, i do it in production

 

[jmagg]

There is a Crowdstrike workaround.

Well, I hope Proudspite gets their act together.

For the IT uninitiated what does Crowdstrike do?

Just guessing but I think it prevents denial of service attacks

Its a pretty decent sniper rifle in Destiny 2...

CrowdStrike however is an anti-virus software that also handles end-points and process watching.

"Bird Seed". They'll never break that encryption.

edit: no longer needed...

Deep state is trying to stop people from viewing Trump's speech.

Now I understand these memes

This is such a massive screw up. Gonna be tough for crowdstrike to recover.
