Global IT outage disrupts among others airlines, banks and health-care providers

MS has come out and blames EU regulations that forced MS to allow firms like crowd strike access to the kernal level in their software and the resulting outages that update by crowd strike caused.

This then brings in the concept that if firms can access the kernal for legitimate reasons, just think what one with illegitimate reasons could do to the global technology, and those that depend on it, hide it as an MS update, and….

And if one firm like crowd strike can cause this much disruption, just image it on a larger scale.

IMO, this is a precursor of things to come.

This is an example of clueless Bureaucrats making policy and then dodging responsibility when sh!t hits the fan.

If they were simply unintelligent or feckless the world would not be driving off a cliff.  Every western country is taking the exact same road to that cliff edge.

What you chalk up to idiocy is either a planned crisis or evil people taking advantage of an organic crisis.  At this point there are very few organic crsis’s.
