This is literally a black swan event that'll be memorialized in textbooks, and that's not even considering the actual fallout that will follow.

That is not an understatement. This is literally the largest failing of internet infrastructure to date.

Alas, using the internet has given us a lot of efficiency. The trade off is resilience. The entire global system is more brittle than ever but it what gave it such speed.

I'd argue the infrastructure of the Internet isn't to blame here, it sounds like a software/config bug at Crowdstrike. There are wider discussions around over-reliance on cloud-based tech too. But the good old Internet can hold its head up high IMHO.

It's not a failing of Internet infrastructure.

It's one vendor pushing out a bad update, and thousands of companies with no supply chain diversity.

In a way, this might end up being a blessing in disguise. It's an emergency drill for something potentially catastrophic (e.g. massive cyberattack, solar flare), and it's a large enough wake-up call that society can't just ignore it.

Expectations: Russia, China or North Korea will take the Western tech infrastructure down.

Reality: the infrastructure took down itself.

This not Internet failure but software functuality failure from a cyber security update , thios is why i never use real cloud security but rather use home cloud security on my Serverpc/NAS/SAN , when it crashes okay so be it i dont get acces to my cloud , but i allways use a online backupcloud that does not need instalation for most important stuff , u should never rely on 1 softweare to do all allways have backups

Did you mean the Azure thing or CS thing? Just happened that the Azure thing did not impact me as I was already off...

[ricopags]

It isn't clear at this point that the Azure thing and the CS thing are unrelated
