That is pretty much the way things were Friday morning due to the Microsoft Meltdown. Emergency services say 911 lines are down in several states as a mass IT outage causes havoc
OK, so it was CloudStrike, not Microsoft at the root of the issue. More on that in a later post.
- An IT outage is causing global chaos, with reports that 911 services are down across several US states.
- The Alaska State Troopers confirmed that 911 services are down due to a "nationwide" outage.
- Emergency services in New Hampshire and Ohio posted on social media reports of similar issues.
Calling 911 is a fine thing to do. They can send all kinds of help your way. But what happens if you can't call 911, or the system does not answer? Do you have a Plan B? Maybe you should.
Major airlines, banks, and retailers are experiencing widespread disruptions after Microsoft reported problems with its online services, linked to an issue at cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.
A single point of failure. Gee, did no one do a systems analysis?
