Global Microsoft Counterstrike Outage

[CPT Callamity]

LOL this is a fuckin cluster but right about now...job security.

Counterstrike been on our list of companies we recommend buyer beware. Use to be a top tier in the early days but they started in the acquisitions of other companies and government contract money.

The minute any company becomes that big, you're going to have people that are nepo hires, hires that can pass certs but not be savvy to use the tech they're certified in.

Yep it has been slow most of the summer my support ticket count was way low but the trap jumping today

Facts. I've come across so many of those types and in many cases have the audacity to act like they know it all until those moments where they're put on the spot to fix issues for scenarios the boot camps and cert books don't cover

And yet I sit here unemployed?!?! The world is not fair...

My company email kept spinning but eventually went through. I was mad that it did.

Still gonna blame my lack of productivity today on the outage

I agree with the tech M&A part. I cringle every time I see HP, IBM or Cisco buy a company.

I'm happy it happened today and not this weekend. I have a hospital application upgrade to do this weekend and my workstation or a site server crashing mid upgrade would've been devastating

I would have been working anyways but now I might have a free weekend.

I’m back on the road today and we got a fleet message saying there is issues with ComData.

It’s the fleet card service that my company uses. We use the cards to fuel, CAT Scales, minor repairs and other small miscellaneous expenses.

There are issues are over the country.

No issues at my job or on our computers or our network, and it’s a worldwide network.

I can’t speak for every single person on the network though.

Seems like a patch from Crowdstrike created this problem.
They said that they have applied the fix, but it takes time to spread to all affected systems.

Neither company i work for uses Crowdstrike, we use Tanium.....so we didn't receive any of those patch updates.

we use Tanium as well, no issues for us at work, just could not access Dynamics 365 until the issue was resolved

Did we get a “Test Run” of this film today to see how folks would react?….

Interesting.

 

[CPT Callamity]

Had to go into the office. Just now heading home.

 

[Coldchi]

Damn car dealerships were affected as well....

 

[J.U.S.T.I.C.E]

I spent all day fixing this shit

 

[J.U.S.T.I.C.E]

Seems like its all cloud based. Knew this would happen once companies removed their onsite data stacks to the cloud. Doesnt matter how diverse your connectivity is if the cloud carriers operating systems go down.

This was kinda the opposite; computers that were offline were fine. Computers that were online last night caught the bad update. This affected everything, regardless if it was on prem or not.

Same. I was recovering blue screens all damn day. And I don't even do that anymore, but I got pulled in to assist helpdesk. It was all hands on deck.

Got paged out by my NOC early Friday morning for the one windows application server my team is responsible for (99% Linux). I'm an applications support guy, so was happy when the server admin told me they were working on a crowdstrike issue....was back sleeping within 3 minutes, but didn't know the scope of that shit until I got up hours later.

Interesting.

Just shows the average person is uninformed.....

A lot of big name hotels no longer use "traditional" services, it's mostly IPTV and VOIP services now, which would rely on computer systems/networks......

As far as the Uber eats issue it's the same with airlines, dealerships and banks...... if they have networks that applied this faulty update then a lot of their services will be affected.....

I couldn't log into one of my banking and another credit card app until recently today.

Damn that shit was a pain in the ass
