The global computer outage affecting airports, banks and other businesses on Friday appears to stem at least partly from a software update issued by major US cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, experts told CNN.


The last time Crowdstrike had this much press, they were finding “Russians” in the DNC server.

And we know Russia didn’t hack the DNC servers, as the upload speed was to high… It was Seth Rich, and that’s why he was murdered..

I could be wrong here, but I believe it’s an old wooden ship.

They were involved with 1st Trump impeachment too.

I’m sure it’s totally coincidence they shut the world down the night of DJT accepting the nomination.

Totally coincidental even though Alex Jones warned us this would happen in the middle of June.

Another possibility is it's cover for a heist and the crooks paid an insider, like Debt of Honor.

And before that I believe they were the company contracted to build the Obamacare exchange website, which was months behind schedule, well over budget, and broken when it did launch.

This is the things George Carlin always talked about, when it's one company that's responsible for so many, this is the kind of shite that happens.

My company has been affected. Happened around 12 am. Its most of our computers are on a endless reboot, or they have blue screens. We are being told it was a patch issue.

All of the LCMC hospitals are affected... my wife woke up this morning, looked at the phone and said oh shite, I have to go in now, there's some global computer outage that shut down everything.

I'm off for the weekend, glad I'm not dealing with it, it's bad enough dealing with sick patients.

In simple terms, its basically like a cloud based anti-virus.

Same, got email around 4am stating the problem had been fixed and should only be isolated issues. Just walked thru the office and there’s a ton of blue screens in recovery mode.
