- 911 services disrupted in several US states
- Services at London Stock Exchange disrupted

- Flights in Berlin grounded
- Reports the issue relates to problem at global cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike
- bux93 2y agoGood news for crowdstrike! It shows how critical their services are. Stock to go up! (And down a bit when they get sued, and up a bit when they don't get sued too much, etc.)
- chucky_z 2y agoTake a look at their stock right now.
- layoric 2y agoTried, "Real time quote data is not available". Big brain move, can't crash the stock price if the nasdaq is offline..
- trollstrike 2y agoYes, this has had no (statistically significant) effect.
- kavaari 2y agoPre-market is -12% down at the moment of writing this. I'd say this definitely has an effect.
- zhiQ 2y agoCrowdStrike achieved PMF - Product-Market Fiasco!
- jen729w 2y agoI was just at Coles, one of Australia's big 2 supermarkets. 50% of the self-serve terminals were down. Presumably the others aren't far behind. Total chaos.
- fredoralive 2y agoSky News (UK) is back on air, but they seem to have no astons / chyrons / on screen graphics at all, and I don't think they're able to show prerecorded material either (it's just people in the studio from what I've seen), so presumably they're still having fun issues with their general production systems.
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoOh, look at that, TV has suddenly become watchable without all of the scrolling garbage all over the screen.
- jeffhuys 2y agoBut my attention span! Nooo!
- urbandw311er 2y agoJust got their ticker back at 09:42 !
- fredoralive 2y agoHaving another look in, it looks like they're overlaying a static banner along the bottom rather than having a fully working graphics system still (as off 11:30), as that's the only graphics I've seen.
- tamimio 2y agoI have seen some pictures shared of vending machines with BSOD.. why would you have an EDR on a vending machine? To protect the valuable assets?!
- fredoralive 2y agoIf the vending machine handles credit cards, wouldn't Visa / Mastercard / etc. basically require it as part of their security requirements? Or it's just general CYA from someone that's backfired badly.
- Lt_Riza_Hawkeye 2y agopresumably they handle credit card transactions
- butlike 2y ago"It's a vending machine that sells back physical stolen credit cards." Input the dollars, receive stolen credit card. Put it next to an airport terminal for maximum impact.
- telesilla 2y agoSchipol (Amsterdam, europe's largest) and Melbourne Airport are down
- kmlx 2y ago> - Services at London Stock Exchange disrupted just their news service. > The London Stock Exchange says it's working as normal - but says there are problems with its RNS (regulatory news service). > "RNS news service is currently experiencing a third party global technical issue, preventing news from being published on www.londonstockexchange.com," the statement says. > "Technical teams are working to restore the service. Other services across the group, including London Stock Exchange, continue to operate as normal."
