Well aside from other news, everything this weekend was about the ongoing outage after that CrowdStrike update. Just a small sampling of the chaos: Delta had to chancel 4,500 flights, 1,000 flights cancelled on Sunday alone. We now have a fuller picture of what happened. CrowdStrike says a sensor configuration update to Windows systems triggered a logic error that resulted in a system crash and BSOD on impacted systems. Quoting The Register: CrowdStrike on Sunday teased a rapid recovery tool for the mess it made. "Together with customers, we tested a new technique to accelerate impacted system remediation," the security vendor stated on LinkedIn, adding "We're in the process of operationalizing an opt-in to this technique. We're making progress by the minute." That progress will likely be of great interest, as Microsoft veep for enterprise and OS security David Weston on Saturday estimated that 8.5 million Windows machines had been laid low by the problem. That's less than one percent of all Windows devices in operation, though a lot of the ones affected obviously were in critical environments. Microsoft also created a repair tool that runs from a bootable USB storage device and can be found here, along with instructions for use. Those instructions were modified on Sunday to require a full wipe of the USB device "so it doesn't error out when used in the recovery process." #microsoft #crowdstrike #outage
