The largest computer failure in history has collapsed around the world, airports, hospitals, banks, media outlets, all have ceased operations. This massive Microsoft failure has paralyzed much of the global infrastructure, creating unprecedented chaos, although the company claims to have fixed the initial cause, many systems are still experiencing critical problems and the magnitude of this collapse is unprecedented in modern history.


And suddenly multiple Windows systems in the world began to show blue failure screens, what they call Blue screen Of Dead, in payment systems, in airlines, in airports, in banks, a large number of the world's systems collapsed, They collapsed so hard that today in the United States Aviation almost completely stopped, and this was worldwide.


On company computers everywhere the computers did not work, this is not a Microsoft bug and did not affect all Windows computers, it is very specific to a single case and it was not a hack and it was not an attack , is the product of a Software application called crowdstrike.

Crowdstrike is a company that creates software called Falcon, which is a combination of antivirus and an automatic computer attack detection system, which is why this whole story is so ironic.


In short, it is a computer security company that integrates deeply with Windows to detect hacking attempts and stop them, it only affects you if you use Windows and if you use crowdstrike which is typically a combination of companies and many of the airport screens in the train stations. of the banks. They were powered by crowdstrike.

This is a reminder of how vulnerable the entire system is, this happened because crowdstrike in the early morning European time on Friday sends a software update to all Windows systems in the world that work with crowdstrike and that software update It had a bug, an error in the system that prevented Windows from restarting.


This happens because these very critical systems have automatic updates installed and configured, it is a reminder that a critical system should never have automatic updates configured or it is the beginning of something, what do you think?
