How much do you depend on computers? 7/19/2024

It’s a good day not to have an airplane reservation, among other needs.

A developing story - not cyber attack, upgrade screw up

Jul 19, 2024 #TheSun #crowdstrike #microsoft

Brits have been hit by mayhem today with a global IT outage seeing NHS appointment chaos, mass train and flight cancellations - and it could last days. Major airports, airlines, railways and supermarkets have been hit by the suspected CrowdStrike issue that saw Microsoft services crash worldwide. Television channels, banks, GPs and supermarkets around the world have been rocked by the chaos - as schools all over Britain break up for the summer holidays today. Meanwhile, schoolcomms - a communication app used by over 3,000 schools - says it is among the many companies affected by the outage.

No I’m not recommending Sun News, but that story certainly seems like reasonable reporting, it does explain more than the other.

Such a finishing with the fraudster alter that should be taken to heart.
