A recent computer outage caused by a flawed software security update has disrupted operations worldwide, impacting airlines, hospitals, emergency services, broadcasters, and various other businesses. This incident has been identified as one of the largest computer outages in history, affecting tens of millions of people globally.
The issue was reportedly caused by CrowdStrike, the company responsible for the problematic software update. As a result of the outage, countless systems were offline, causing major inconveniences and delays for individuals and businesses relying on computer operations for daily tasks.
CrowdStrike has issued an apology for the disruption and assured the public that systems are gradually being restored online. Meanwhile, NBC News’ Tom Costello has been following the situation closely and providing updates on the ongoing recovery efforts.
The incident serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of software vulnerabilities and the importance of implementing reliable cybersecurity measures to prevent such widespread disruptions in the future. It is essential for companies to prioritize the security of their systems to safeguard against cyber threats and minimize the risk of similar incidents occurring again.

NOT A CYBER ATTACK 😅
Why isnt anyone asking the 2nd most important question over this Crowdstrike debacle. Who is responsible for the billions if not trillions of dollars in losses Crowdstrike caused worldwide ?
Oh here we go with data breach lawsuits it’s starting to pile up when are they going to hire real talent
Wheres Melinda French
Layers of management will identify a scapegoat
That first news clip was from Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) News… Not Sky News. Please get your sources right. Appalling that NBC would get something as simple as that wrong. Comparing ABC News Australia to Sky News is an insult.
They're juggling the blame now
windows suuks. especially auto updates.
Leave the World behind, did you watch that movie? Trying to get Trump was just the beginning.
Millennials checking their bingo card for CrowdStrike update.
My computer frogged up too, blue screen and keep rebooting for nothing. Can not even fix it.
The gospel is simple. –Jesus Christ, who is God's Son, died on the cross for the sins of every person. He was buried and rose again three days later. –Eternal life is a free gift … received, not earned—by faith alone in Christ alone. –Jesus said in John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life. –Once saved, forever saved. Salvation can never be lost! –Trust Jesus alone and forever live.
Many people don't know that currently there is a trial going on if the technology dies, considering that the fate that has been explained 3000 years ago in the Bible of religious communities is very close,
0:05 – That is from the Australian ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), not Sky News.
HAHAHAHA. and murika has banned Kaspersky. Crowdstrike should be sued by companies all over the world for loss of earnings.
I do not believe it's hyperbole to say it's THE biggest outage of all time.
There were multiple ransom paid by multiple companies recently. Patelco credit union in San Francisco had a breach 3 weeks ago and still recovering. Then there was a news about hackers targeting our water reservoirs warning people that water quality issue all over California and other states. I dont think all of this is a coincidence. Im not here to spread disinformation but something just doesn't add up from Trumps shooting to this.
This doesn't affect personal computers so I don't why people commenting about their Sony Playstation, Xbox, and Mac computers being fine.
0:20 indian accent lol why am I not surprised? IT Support of Death
Transformers are here!
Switch to Ubuntu!
So nobody uses ESET NOD32 ANTIVIRUS anymore?
like all over the world? I live in the UE and nothing happened here. Windows is running…
🙁
I think it was set-up to do just what it did 😮❗ Let CrowdStrike see just what kind of influence this "outage" would have 😕
Isn't it questionable that this happened right after Trump gave his first speech after the assassination attempt to draw away from focusing on him? coincidence? I think not! The media downplay the assassination and this is just another step. I just don't know how could anyone vote for Biden at this point.
This never happened under president trump 🧐🧐🧐
This is management issue, not technical, good patch policy approach would have prevent this from happening 🎉
Had an important court date today made my flight Thursday morning
Yay they're breaking stuff again
This shows how we rely too much on technology
This is the effect of a company being to large.
hackers are paying attention, i'm sure …
Starbucks was offline this morning.
is crowdstrike preinstalled in all windows 11 computers?
Hilarious stuff. We live overseas and have had no impact. Mac user here.
Did these fools call the ABC, Sky news, i know they are both bad but thats dumb
Skynet
could this system down due to poor maintenance from staff who now work from home?? cos they may not be really working?
'…Biggestin history….' You make it sound like we have had the internet sinse the birth of mankind.🤔
