It's Monday Afternoon after Friday's CrowdStrike Stuff Up - Are you still affected?
For me, I wasn't affected at all. Woolies still had issues with some checkouts on Saturday morning and Coles Express couldn't do 4c Discount Offers.
But are you still recovering today? and if so, what is the current impact?
Do you use Crowdstrike?
Not even sure what it is, so I guess not.
CrowdStrike Falcon® Go offers award-winning, AI-powered cybersecurity that protects small and medium businesses (SMBs) from ransomware and data breaches. With just a few simple clicks, users of all skill levels can quickly and easily deploy industry-leading protection to stop the modern cyberattacks that ineffective antivirus solutions often miss. By bringing AI-powered cybersecurity to organizations of all sizes, CrowdStrike is setting a new standard in SMB cybersecurity protection.
Some of my colleagues are still having major issues. I have issues too, but they're very minor and don't need resolving immediately.
Need to add an option for 'if only'.
Coles DC was having issues late into sat night / sun morning …. The DC was roughly 8 hours behind in supplying for their stores.
All good today though.
Have heard/read online about some Crowdstrike issues prior to FRI (but no official response through news sites yet).
GF was sent home early at 3pm THURS due to 'IT issues" … And they were having to manually write out things in paper form, for their suppliers.
Company then subsequently told it's staff late FRI - was due to Crowdstrike (whether true or not, am unsure).
But yeah - no current issues anywhere that I have been today.
The first mistake was using Crowdstrike. Certainly not the first time they've released updates that kill workstations and won't be the last.
Everyday people are learning what IT have to put up with all the time. How many times have dodgy Windows updates killed machines? Obviously not on this scale for obvious reasons.
Hey negger you think I'm wrong about Crowdstrike killing workstations before? Prepare to look like an idiot…
Crowdstrike update kills Debian and Rocky Linux back in April.
Crowdstrike own 25% of market share so they're doing something right. This is a case of… the bigger you are, the harder you fall.
The other part to consider is how much market share the technology providers have that use Crowdstrike. I.e. one company has around 85% market share of the airports worldwide and they're using Crowdstrike. That's why so many airport systems went down.
I had to dismiss a message in the kfc app a couple of times, I wAnT cOmPeNsAtIoN
.
I paid for the $5 wicked wing lunch the day before to save for the next day, loaded it up (unknowingly) during the crowdstrike outage and it said I collected it already, even though I hadn't reached the store.
I work in IT. We fixed servers Friday and over the weekend. Set up drop off points to fix laptops.
Crowdstrike has a cloud fix to opt in. I'm surprised about how it works, but apparently the devices can get network connection before the bluescreen, wired connection recommended.
Microsoft released 2 tools to fix - either relying on Admin credentials, or Bitlocker password.
DoorDash with Coles was down for a few days. My gaming PC had no problems and all my other computers are Macs. Wonder if my PC was safe because I never restart it..
