World IT Disaster, This is a List of Systems that Collapsed as a result of Windows Down

Morrissey TechnologyMicrosoft Windows-based machines and devices around the world crashed simultaneously on Friday (19/7) due to a CrowdStrike update error. Because of its large scale, this incident deserves to be called a global IT disaster. It is recorded that many services have been affected by the biggest IT outages in recent years, ranging from airline travel, broadcasting, emergency calls, even hospital operations were disrupted by Windows crashing. The following is only part of the list of services affected by the collapse of Windows, as quoted from Mashable.

airline

Perhaps one of the sectors most significantly impacted by this incident is the aviation industry. Major US airlines such as Delta and Allegiant suspended operations, as did airlines from countries such as France, Spain, Australia and India.

Emergency call

Many public and private sector services rely on Windows-based machines for infrastructure and basic tasks, and the problematic CrowdStrike update also impacted 911 emergency operator services. Emergency calling services are not working in some US states such as Alaska and Ohio, and local governments released a list of alternative telephone numbers that citizens can use. Surprisingly, in Alaska, 911 is still working in Anchorage, the state’s largest city, even when systems in the rest of the state are down.

Hospital

Medical systems in various countries also bear the consequences of this event. Bloomberg reports that hospitals in the UK are having difficulty retrieving patient data, while Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York has had to delay the start of any surgical procedures that use anesthesia. One hospital in France had employees manually direct patients to appointments because the check-in process had failed. Interestingly, health care provider UPMC in Pittsburgh claims very few of their Windows devices have experienced problems and there have been relatively no glitches.

Stock market

While one might expect a massive IT outage related to Microsoft to have an impact on Microsoft’s stock price, the outage actually temporarily prevented stock trading in some places. For example, the London stock exchange, England had to postpone the start of trading on Friday (19/7) morning. Because the companies run different systems, many remain unaffected, including the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, which began operating the day Windows went down without any problems.

TV channel

Obviously, broadcast TV requires a lot of computing technology, and with the global popularity of Windows, outages resulting from CrowdStrike updates are bound to impact at least some networks. One of the most prominent was Sky News in the UK, which was off the air on Friday (19/7) due to a Windows outage. Several TV channels in France were also affected, one of which was unable to show weather information to viewers due to technical difficulties. In the US, NBC News and MSNBC experienced temporary problems, as did several small local networks across the US.

Times Square

New York’s iconic Times Square went completely dark on Friday (19/7) morning. Predictably, this busy center is synonymous with sparkling large screens displaying various advertisements or entertainment, and the screens that fill Times Square all use Windows.

Windows Mass Blue Screen

Windows Mass Blue Screen Caused by Microsoft Down in a Number of Countries

Morrissey Technology – Thousands of Windows devices around the world experienced a mass blue screen of death (BSOD) which impacted a number of services, from aviation, broadcasting, to banking in various countries. The cause of the disruption is thought to be the software update process carried out by the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike.

A problematic software update from CrowdStrike took affected PCs and servers offline. As a result, these devices enter the recovery boot loop and the devices cannot turn on properly. CrowdStrike is widely used by many businesses around the world to manage the security of Windows PCs and servers.

Quoting The Verge, the initial problem was reported after devices at banks, airlines and Australian TV broadcasters started going offline. This problem is now spreading, even to Europe.

One of the problems was British broadcaster Sky News, which was unable to broadcast its morning news bulletin for hours, and broadcast a message apologizing for “the disruption to this broadcast.”

Later, Ryanair, one of Europe’s largest airlines, also said that it was experiencing “third party” IT issues, which were impacting flight departures. Berlin Airport also warned of travel delays due to “technical problems.” In America, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it was assisting airlines such as Delta, United and American Airlines due to communications problems.

“The FAA is closely monitoring technical issues impacting IT systems at US airlines,” said FAA spokeswoman Jeannie Shiffer.

“Several airlines have requested FAA assistance to carry out emergency landings for their fleets until this problem is resolved,” he added.

Reported by ABC, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz confirmed the mass outage experienced worldwide was the result of “a flaw discovered in a single content update for Windows hosts.”

He emphasized that the mass disruption was not caused by a security incident or cyber attack. Kurtz said only his clients using Windows devices were affected by this issue. Meanwhile, users with Mac and Linux devices are not affected. Kurtz also said that the flaw in the update that caused this global computing issue had been “identified, isolated, and a fix has been implemented.”
