CrowdStrike outage ... what happened? On July 19th, a software update from CrowdStrike, a well-renowned cybersecurity firm based in Austin, led to Windows system crashes worldwide. The systems affected were using the Windows sensor version 7.11 and above and were online at the time of the update. What Caused It? The outage was caused by a content configuration update error, NOT by a cyberattack. CrowdStrike’s Chief Executive George Kurtz clarified the situation and assured that a fix was deployed within hours. "It could be some time for some systems to recover. But this is why we are here to make sure every customer fully recovers," says Kurtz. Airlines and businesses across the globe were heavily affected. Delta Air Lines, in particular, has canceled over 5,000 flights since the outage began, with airports dealing with long lines, stranded passengers, and lost baggage. Legislative Action: Lawmakers are calling on CrowdStrike’s CEO to testify over the global tech outage. Cybersecurity experts stress the significance of this event, with David Mailcoat remarking, "To think that you have a worldwide impact and a set of outages based upon one file in your very popular piece of software is concerning.

🚨I often get asked by dealerships what an example of incident response looks and feels like... CrowdStrike (a sophisticated cybersecurity endpoint management software) outage sparks global chaos with airlines, dealerships, banks, and other disruptions. American Airlines recently faced a global ground stop, causing significant disruptions and highlighting the vulnerabilities within our critical infrastructure. ➡ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐜𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐞, 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐎𝐧𝐞, 𝐒𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐨𝐧.

Imagine the chaos if hackers manipulated these systems, bypassing defenses and gaining unrestricted access to sensitive data and operations. The implications could be devastating: 🖥️ Data Breaches: Exposure of confidential passenger information, causing severe privacy issues and potential identity theft. 📉 Reputation Damage: Long-term trust erosion from customers and partners, impacting the airline's market position. 🔐 National Security Risks: Compromised systems could become gateways for broader attacks on critical infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/eXmUYUxm #cybersecurity #autodealers #automotive #dealers David Spisak ✭ Charity Dunning✭ Peter Smith Jamie Butters
