Crowdstrike must have some slick salespeople in New Zealand. Seems like nearly everyone uses it. Single point of failure problem.

  CIO here. They are known to be incredibly pushy. In my company we RFP'd for our endpoint & cyber security. Found the CS salesperson went over me to approach our CEO who is completely non-technical to try and seal a contract because I was on leave for 1 week out of service (and this was known to them). When I found out by our CEO informing me of the approach we were happy to sign with SentinelOne

    One thing I'm really happy about at my current company is that when a sales person from a vendor (not Crowdstrike) tried that our CEO absolutely ripped them a new one and basically banned that company from being a vendor for a decade.

    I got confused and thought that you were the CIO of Crowdstrike until I read further into your comment.

    I had a very similar experience, I was leading the selection process for our new endpoint security vendor, Crowdstrike people: - verbally attacked/abused a selection team member - were ranting constantly about golf with our execs - were dismissive and just annoying throughout - raised hell with our execs when they learned they were not going to POC, basically went through everyone of them simultaneously - I had to get a rep kicked out of the rfp as he was constantly disrespectful We did not pick them, and cancelled any other relashionship we had with them, in IR space by example.

      It sounds like they are a bunch of shitheads type A nihilists. How stereotypical.

Same in Australia https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-19/global-it-outage-crowdstrike-microsoft-banks-airlines-australia/104119960 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-19/global-it-outage-crow... Banks are down so petrol stations and supermarkets are basically closed. People can't check in to airline flights, various government services including emergency telephone and police are down. Shows how vulnerable these systems are if there's just one failure point taking all those down.

  Banks seem fine now. At least ING and NAB.

  000 was never down, and most supermarkets and servos were still up. It was bad, but ABC appear to not have the internal capacity to validate all reports.

    It's pretty bad when the main ABC 7pm News Bulletin pretty much had them reading from their iPads couldn't use their normal studio background screens and didn't even give us the weather forecast!

Similar being reported in Australia. Can see the effects being reported as other timezones become more active.

  You mean you think the update was timed and waves will hit every hour for the next nearly 24h, or it’s just 3AM in NYC right now and under the radar?
  - NomDePlum 2y ago
    I think the update will be applied overnight, which is a different window (no pun intended) dependent on timezone and the impact will be reported when users come back online (or not) and identify the issue. Currently seeing this happening in real time in the UK.

Netherlands is somewhat affected: Two main airports, Rotterdam harbour, a few hospitals and news reporting. Surprisingly: banks, government, police, fire department, railways, buses are mostly unaffected. Maybe they have a good IT department/provider.

  Probably more to do with luck than being "good".

I was at the supermarket here last night about the time it kicked off. It seemed payWave was down, there were a few people walking out empty handed as they only had Apple Pay, etc on them. But the vast majority of people seemed fine, my chipped credit card worked without issue.
