The Day the Earth Stood Still (Because of CrowdStrike)
Manage episode 431829243 series 3378962
Ned and Chris explore the chaotic fallout from a CrowdStrike Falcon sensor update that crashed Windows systems across various sectors.
Where Were You the Day the Screens Turned Blue?
The tech industry is a house of cards propped up by a mishmash of redundant systems and safety nets. In this episode, Ned and Chris dive into CrowdStrike’s Falcon sensor update on July 19, 2024. This blunder sent Windows systems crashing, causing chaos across airlines, retail stores, and hospitals. They dissect how the update triggered the dreaded Blue Screen of Death and the nightmarish recovery process, especially for BitLocker-encrypted systems. Solutions like macOS’s System Extensions and Linux’s eBPF are tossed around, with a side of skepticism about the balance between speed and security and the inevitable trainwreck of regulatory responses.
