On a scale of 10 (10 being the 2008 crash) how big is this?
Enlightenment me oh computor mages
Probably bigger because of how centralized everything has become.
I was thinking about this the other day about how so many functions and internal services for firms, especially IT, were outsourced and centralized. For my company this meant that so many means of internal communication and online storage went from in-house servers to the cloud. Security is fucked because my company depends on another for our private info. Like you can’t have a system that is disconnected from the internet anymore.
Outsourcing makes sense because smaller companies don't have resources or expertise to have their own Cybersecurity Operations running.
It makes sense to do that for a small company but mine is massive
Yeah mine too. One of our main services is Cybersecurity Consulting yet here we are.
A 3, probably. The fix is simple, if annoyingly manual. It is funny though.
Not very big. The preppers will feel very smug eating their tinned beans tonight before everything is normal again tomorrow
You mean the financial crash of 2008? Idk about that, but there will be financial fallout.
An industry leading antivirus software pushed and update that crashed any windows machine its on. BSOD=blue-screen of death. The devices aren't bricked. The update just needs to be reverted. But applying the update is difficult because the devices are BSOD.
To get an idea of how wide spread crowd strike is: my employer's clients are requiring all of my employer's computers to have this antivirus software installed.
