This is why I laugh at people who say, everything on the internet is forever. Nothing is forever. Anything can happen.


Go to some deep American secret locations, they use very very old localized computer, that uses floppy disk, and some still have paper work.


Igbos, to run a country, no be beans. Stop using useless Nigeria to judge how a country is run. We should be learning from global mistakes. If the igbos fail, Africa will likely fail.

Nothing of such, its just a security update from Crowdstrike that caused the glitch. It happens to 6 laptops at the my workplace and I was able to fix all the issues with the solution provided by Crowdstrike

This was a "non-malicious" cyber outage caused by software update that went wrong...the issue has been resolved but there will certainly be a backlog of canceled flights and Airlines working tirelessly to resume flying again...

I agree with you....its also easy to sabotage this type of system from inside if an individual in a sensitive position in the organization is not happy with some decision by the Leadership or if he suddenly develops some mental fatigue grin

Microsoft confirms Crowdstrike update was responsible for issues

Microsoft spokesperson Frank X. Shaw has confirmed that “a Crowdstrike update was responsible for bringing down a number of Windows systems globally.”


“We are actively supporting customers to assist in their recovery,” he said in an emailed statement Friday.

President Biden’s team is in touch with Crowdstrike

President Joe Biden has been briefed on the CrowdStrike outage and his team has been in touch with CrowdStrike and impacted entities, according to the White House.

Biden is getting continued updates throughout the day and the administration is “standing by to provide assistance as needed,” the White House said.

This is a MASSIVE global technology glitch that affected several governments, including local and international businesses. Tbh, a Plan B emergency scenario is more than ever before needed "here and now" to avoid more unintended consequences down the road.

It's great that the Joe Biden administration actively followed up on this.

That’s because North Korea is a useless country and not important in the grand scheme of things
It’s an autocratic country that should be nuked soon or else…

hhhh. useless countries rely on others to survive, North Korea is one of the most useful countries as it needs no one to survive unlike Nigeria and America and the Uk. if it could be nuked, it would since have been. or else nothing

This rubbish lasted four hours at most. BBC milked the news for two days. It’s obvious why I don’t take news seriously any more.
