This past Friday morning brought headlines such as “Largest IT Outage in History!” and “Just Like Y2K Except this Time it is Real!”
Hundred of millions, if not billions, of people and businesses around the world were affected, from airlines to FedEx and other delivery companies to financial institutions to hotel reservations and personal PC users.
The culprit was reported as a Microsoft Windows update to a software program that runs on many Windows computers, from the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.

Microsoft has reported that the glitch affected 8.5 million devices.
First, let me address the numerous rumors online in the alternative media that this was a deliberate event to delete all the data surrounding the Trump shooting. Here is a typical comment I saw:
We all missed it. Crowstrike intentionally put out malicious code, where the solution is to roll back to a previous system restore point. All recent data is lost covering the days surrounding the attempted assassination.
A lot of digital breadcrumbs were lost. On purpose.
This is not true, and is in fact impossible.
While 8.5 million devices is a LOT, Microsoft reports that it is less than 1% of all Windows devices.
Also, it did not affect Apple computers, computers running Linux, and many other operating systems. So if any information was lost on any of the affected machines regarding news events, such as the Trump shooting, ALL of that information is still online.
And if it was indeed a “hack” that is “being covered up”, where are the hackers who caused this, as they love to take credit for their work, and this would have been the largest computer hack in history.
No, the fact is that Microsoft Windows updates are notorious for causing problems and creating the “blue screen of death,” as they happen frequently.
I had a computer completely crash a couple of years ago after a Microsoft Windows update, and after several attempts to fix it, I had to completely reinstall the operating system (I am a former certified Microsoft Trainer for Windows.)
