Many hospitals, including emergency rooms, were shutdown. Maybe no single death can be directly tied to the event but I'm pretty this effectively resulted in greater death.
Maybe some of those inconvenience had to time stop and contemplate the world but there are parts of the world where computers stopping don't leave people just fine.
- jcims 2y agoAgreed and I’m sure there are tons of anecdotesb just in this community. My daughter for example is a night shift labor and delivery nurse at a level three metro hospital. They were heavily impacted. All of the phones were down, all of their internal messaging was down, translation services are down, it was a rough couple of nights. I don’t have any direct experience with crowdstrike, but in my experience with security vendors in particular, they make it very difficult for customers to inject useful change management into the process. I’ve been in infosec for nearly thirty years and “my people” also need to shoulder some of the blame for catastrophizing delays in delivery of updates to preventative and detective controls. I’ve always known this but spending the last year ‘outside’ in central platform delivery and operations for a large financial has really brought that to light. Fortunately I know how to speak security so it helps us navigate but many aren’t so fortunate.
