Crowdstrike and Microsoft – culprit identified
The BBC reports that a massive IT outage is causing chaos around the world, affecting airports, railways, broadcasters and untold companies..
Cyber-security firm CrowdStrike Holdings has admitted that the problem was caused by a dodgy update to its software which is allegedly designed to protect Microsoft Windows devices from hacking.
At the same time, Microsoft has said it is taking “mitigation action” to deal with “the lingering impact” of the outage.
Although Crowdstrike has admitted liability, social media had long since decided who was to blame and where.
This is Alan Ferrier on Mastodon, who wins the prize for the best attribution of blame.
The disaster known as Mary Elizabeth Truss was ousted from her comfy job misrepresenting the long-suffering burghers of Norfolk at the 4th July election. She was recently seen at the extreme right-wing Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where the perpetual victim, one Donald John Trump, has been anointed its presidential candidate despite his being a convicted felon 34 times over, confirmed business fraudster, document thief, adjudicated sexual predator, congenital liar, oath breaker and golf cheat.
