I would love to know the inside story and not just what gets reported to the public as reality can be absolutely ridiculous at times. 

 

 

Ain't that the truth!

As a American it was a damn mess because a lot of services that we depend on for our daily lives were down and it was caused by a bad configuration lol.

 

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Microsoft-Azure-and-Microsoft-365-services-affected-by-Central-US-Azure-outage-resulting-from-bad-configuration-change.865216.0.html

 

Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 services were affected by a Central US Azure outage that occurred on July 18, 2024. A configuration change in Azure resulted in storage clusters and servers being disconnected, initiating an automatic reboot that took down affected services, which included Teams, OneDrive, and Defender. At this time, only Teams remains affected. Readers can track the status of this incident (Tracking Id: 1K80-N_8) on the status pages linked below. This is unrelated to the global CrowdStrike outage incident.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud service provider of both storage space and computing power. Businesses can save money on IT by using Azure for their servers rather than in-house servers because Microsoft is in charge of maintaining, upgrading, and backing up the cloud servers. However, errors caused by Microsoft Azure staff can affect both Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 services.

Microsoft says, "We determined that a backend cluster management workflow deployed a configuration change causing backend access to be blocked between a subset of Azure Storage clusters and compute resources in the Central US region. This resulted in the compute resources automatically restarting when connectivity was lost to virtual disks hosted on impacted storage resources."

This basically means the servers could not access the data, so the cloud computers automatically rebooted, taking down many Microsoft services.

Affected services included Microsoft Azure, Defender, Fabric, Intune, OneDrive for Business, PowerBI, SharePoint Online, Teams, and Viva Engage. Only Microsoft Teams remains affected by the now-resolved Central US Azure outage, and Teams users should know that "Meeting organizers are unable to add people in the meeting scheduling form using Microsoft Teams for personal use apps."

Enterprise IT readers who are worried about future Azure outages taking down their companies for days can look into Kubernetes-based app platforms like VMWare Tanzu and read about it (in this book on Amazon) to learn how to deploy apps across multiple cloud services for redundancy.

Hmmmm. @Mr. Fox Why continue with same CEO? Money?

 

An interesting sidenote pointed out by The Register is that CrowdStrike's current CEO, George Kurtz, was also CEO of McAFee during an infamous 2010 update that caused several PCs to be stuck in an endless boot loop. This likely makes George Kurtz the first CEO in history to preside over two major global PC outages caused by bad security software updates.

 

CrowdStrike issues go beyond Windows: company's security software has reportedly been causing Linux kernel panics since at least April

Probably a case of incurable stupidity mingled with technical incompetence. Maybe further complicated if he is a loser by all measurements. Or, the leader of losers. Either way, the buck stops with the CEO. It was on his watch.

Yes, the CEO of crowdstrike.  Microsoft had nothing to do with this. I love the internet.  It's great for spreading BS.  CS affected linux as well.  Apple no, because we all know apple doesn't need any protection /s.

You think they don't need protection? Oh'well. Some what old info but NO OS is secure or safe. NONE. And why you think you get updates from Apple? Only for more fancy stuff?

 

Still think Macs can't get viruses? That outdated thinking puts you and your data at risk.

See the /s at the end of the comment indicating sarcasm.  Apple users think their devices are magical impenetrable devices.  I know better.

How this stuff are released without being play tested before?

 

They just follow exactly same recipe as Microsoft. They don't know what they do. They just roll the dice what code being thrown into patches. Or they test out if AI can do the work while their engineers make next feature packs.

 

CrowdStrike reveals more details about how the global failure occurred.

Microsoft outlined several built-in security features in Windows and plans to collaborate with the anti-malware ecosystem for improved security. They're also developing safer rollout strategies.

 

Even though the massive CrowdStrike outage caused billions in damages, insurance companies will cover only a fraction of the losses. A third of the total cost comes from the Fortune 500 businesses.

Following last week's update disaster, CrowdStrike shareholders are suing the cybersecurity company over its plummeting stock price.

The Plymouth County Retirement Association, which bought shares in CrowdStrike, filed a securities class-action lawsuit against the Texas-based cybersecurity vendor, demanding it pay damages for the stock price losses.
