Here's a great explanation by Paul Mah regarding yesterday's globally disruptive CrowdStrike #IT and #cybersecurity incident...
How a single file broke Windows. What happened with CrowdStrike, and why it's so tedious to fix. By now, you would have read about how a botched update from a cybersecurity firm caused global IT chaos by crashing systems: - Self-service kiosks. - IT systems in banks and hospitals. - Check-ins at airports around the world. - Even 100s of carpark gantry systems in S'pore. All down. At the same time. 𝟭/ 𝗪𝗵𝗼'𝘀 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲? CrowdStrike is a top US-based cybersecurity company valued at US$80 billion. Its products compete successfully across multiple niches. - SIEM. - Cloud. - Endpoint. - Threat intel. - Data protection. - Exposure management. 🔸It's also the leader for Windows endpoint protection for businesses, with around 22% market share, or almost 1 in 4 Windows PC. 🔸Crucially, CrowdStrike is used heavily in the Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) sector, which means areas like healthcare, transportation, and government. 𝟮/ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝗯𝗮𝗱? The issue was triggered by a faulty file in the Falcon Sensor component of its Falcon solution. The problem file was pushed out as part of an automated update. A problem in the file sent to Windows systems promptly crashed it. Restarting the computer crashes it again, effectively causing a continuous restart loop. 🔸By itself, Falcon Sensor does fairly basic data collection, packages it up, and uploads it to the CrowdStrike cloud (~5-8MB/day). 🔸Despite its name, the *.sys file is not kernel-mode software but used to provide channel updates. It is somehow improperly formatted, causing the CrowdStrike driver to crash. Non-Windows systems are not affected; Windows Server systems with Falcon Sensor are similarly impacted. 𝟯/ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱? The fix is relatively simple, and entails replacing the offending file. It looks like this: - Sit down at PC and press F4 to boot into safe mode. - Key in unique 48-digit BitLocker key*. - Log in and replace offending file. - Reboot and verify that it works. - Repeat for 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 PC. There are multiple solutions to reboot/manage PCs remotely. But they are pricey and must be set up ahead of time. 𝘁𝗹𝗱𝗿; Almost everyone is fixing this manually. *BitLocker is a Windows disk encryption feature used by businesses to protect onboard data. The decryption key is unique for every PC. 𝟰/ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Competitors have been quick to release statements deriding the situation. Of course, they tend to recommend their solutions instead. To me, the real question is why the update was pushed out at the same time, and not staggered. Tomorrow, I'll write about what I think will be the repercussions of this.

iMasons Climate Accord Unites Major Hyperscalers for Better Reporting on Data Centers' Carbon Impact Consisting of Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta, Digital Realty and Schneider Electric, the Governing Body of iMasons Climate Accord has released an open letter to the data center industry explaining the importance of widespread adoption of standardized, third-party-verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), documents which report the embodied GHG emissions of a product through its entire lifecycle. “EPDs are crucial in transforming the future of digital infrastructure to be more resilient and climate positive,” said Miranda G. Gardiner, LEED Fellow, Executive Director of iMasons Climate Accord. “As standardized and verified data provides a layer of transparency, this initiative supports a collective approach to reducing our carbon emissions and environmental footprints.” #datacenter #hyperscale #cloud #AI #netzero #infrastructure #decarbonization https://lnkd.in/ejaUK26v
