Yep, half the world's internet went goofy on Friday but it was just a MS Cloud update that went wonky. No way it was a test cyber attack. Nothing to see here folks, just move on...

Given the news about Microsoft getting rid of their DEI staff it could be sabotage by former or soon-to-be former employees.

The Ruskies are at it hard, getting really good. Card Lock Coops for 24hr fuel nation wide were down for a week. Our Crown utility just sent a communication out to be extra careful opening emails specifically stating Russian hackers. A lot of companies are just shelling out the few million to get there service/info back. There's a ton of cash to be made in IT that's for sure!

Was simply a bad automatic update in Crowd Strike anti virus.
This time..

But does show how vulnerable everything is

Seems like it would not take much to send us back to the stone ages with everything relying on computers.

Or other actors.

How do you control or at least mess up a modern population? The inability to buy food, fuel, and other necessaries would start getting critical for a majority of the American population within a week. Immobilized and hungry people probably aren't as much opposition as the reverse. Interesting timing of this "outage" given various things that have happened within the last week. Watch your 6.

Have a good and productive weekend!!

Some day computers may prove to be counter-productive.

Watchu mean "some day'?

We had a little old lady in church in the late 50's when everyone was putting tv antennas on top of their houses and she said tv's was evil and those antennas was scorpion tails as in Rev 9:10.
The evil that tv brought was probably small compared to what the computers have done. But on the other hand how much good has come from it. History has never been kind to knowledge, just look at the Library of Alexandria and its destruction and how much was lost.
Knowledge and travel has increased tremendously just in our lifetimes probably more than any other time.

So who all has had internet trouble the last 24hrs?

Mines been off more than on.

OMG !!!

It's going to be worse than Y2K !!!

Easy guys. It was an upgrade someone fat fingered. Yes, one wrong keystroke and you can shut down an entire city…don’t ask how I know!!
Yes, it should’ve been caught, but that’s the human factor involved.

All those advances were for the benefit of spreading the Gospel but like everything else one has to choose good.

Ours steadily declines as user fees increase.

If you were in the cyber security business,,,,

Would you admit it was a cyber “attack” that crippled the entire world

I’m not buying the software update excuse

They’re going too be sued to oblivion for lost revenue, and yet the stock price is down only 11%

Doesn’t add up, doesn’t make sense

Not much does this past week,,

Wonder what next week will bring??

I hope the whole stupid thing implodes for good.
We got along way better without it than since.

Well, they WERE involved in the FBI/ Russian collusion cyber " investigation".
Think some of the principles are former McAfee employees.

And no, I don't think he killed himself either...

Are you saying you're the responsible for the hickup?

Shockingly,

I agree with the Canadian Super Trapper !!!
