Global IT Outage

This was a major disruption for healthcare in my area (Boston and environs) because of the non-functionality of EPIC. All non-essential medical procedures/tests were cancelled
Confirmed by a friend in the Boston area who drove a long way to an appointment and was flatly turned away by the health care facility. That's how flummoxed and paralyzed they were.
 
I feel sure other IT pros here would agree with most of the following. The Occam's Razor (simplest) explanation is that software quality assurance, IMO, is now abysmal and has been a race to the bottom for many years due to human-natural greed
True - but this is a company with direct ties to the FBI/deep state/DNC - with multi billion dollar contracts.
So although it could be what you mentioned, it doesn't pass the smell test to me. Just like the Trump assassination attempt (and the timing between the two events) - it stinks.
Just like the Trump assassination attempt, you can 'blame it on incompetence/greed/DEI hires etc' - but in the end both where most probably deliberate. So the blame on incompetence is a smoke screen, a useful 'out'.
 

Seems CrowdStrike also broke Debian puters back in April... and it took them ages to fix it.

Maybe the reason for the "cyberpandemic/cyberattack" warning is because they know that such key businesses are such absolute garbage that a collapse is inevitable. Or... something.
 
Just a quick reminder - Crowdstrike where the ones that claimed Russia hacked the DNC servers.

This crash was intentional and "Russia hacked the DNC" was intentional too. Crash motives include erasing Trump assassination evidence.

I was just literally thinking about the connection regarding that - the crash / Trump / the shorting in relation to Truth social, erasing evidence relating to shooter, other dark entities behind the attempted assassination etc. And maybe stuff to do with Israel, Ukraine and underhand deals, money disappearing... the list is prob long. Very easy and convenient way to get rid of (hide) all kinds of info / assets.
 
@PopHistorian , agree with all your points. I have personally seen it get worse and techs becoming more incompetent due to the compounding effect. I have dealt with a fair few incidents like these in my career and it does begin to impact your mental health where you are in constant "high intensity" mode trying to think of root causes and resolutions. The worst part is what comes after and how to find explanations for the idiots above you in the food chain as to why deploying xyz was a bad idea and yes, "I told you so".

This is only going to get worse, whether intentional or not. Although, I'll throw some dark humour in that with the degrading technical skill-sets and general shortage of clever IT people due to burnouts, even the PTB may struggle to launch a massive cyber-attack world-wide which is a problem for them of different type. Lack of "balance" perhaps.

I didn't suggest it wasn't deliberate. I think it was. I gave the Occam's conclusion for those unaware of the state of the business, which actually makes it easy to blame incompetence. The fact that real-time patching is now a ubiquitous reality is a wonderful opportunity for exploitation by the PTB and to blame incompetence, as they routinely do with so many horrors they perpetrate.
 
Pushing a malicious update is faster than spreading a virus, because the "slaves" are configured to obey the "master." There is much less resistance. It's like having a tube directly connecting your arm to Fauci's lab! Garbage in, garbage out; mRNA in, mRNA out!
