Title: Crowdstrike Economic Disruption
Post by: Snakebite on July 19, 2024, 11:33:37 AM
Crowdstrike, a cyber security firm that is partnered with Microsoft, completely screwed the pooch last night when pushing an update.  The update supposedly had a glitch that crippled businesses nationwide this morning (ours included).  I don't advocate for others losing their jobs often, but this kind of disruption very likely cost tens of millions.  That is certainly causation for the unemployment line.

Anyone else impacted this morning by this?

Not our business specifically, but we can't get on certain sites we need info from, like Medicaid.  They down!

Luckily unaffected, but like the esteemed barrister from the Wiregrass I am unable to fully execute my duties for lack of certain accesses.

Thusly, I shall be departing shortly for lunch and beers.  Gotta pregame for that TBT game at 5.

I didn't know Snags had a side gig pouring coffee and shaking that ass at the Dothan Starbucks.  Learn something new every day.

Seriously, how many different titles do you Lawyers go by?!
