Network issues linked to Microsoft systems causing outages at businesses worldwide
A software outage linked to Microsoft systems is impacting businesses worldwide, including ABC, Thursday night.
EDIT: There's no tier 1 failure. My shits just fucked.
I don't have easy access to very much high level, non-public network data and information outside my organization. But, based on what I can see, it sure looks like at least one piece of the US fiber backbone has gone kaput.
I decided our small organization would react as if this were true. But, we really don't know and haven't had time to figure it out, yet.
The worst case scenario for regular people is that their shift gets cut today, possibly also tomorrow, because their assigned computer is fucked.
My place took a hit from this but it seems to be more to do with crowdstrike. They issued an update which caused machines to into reboot loops, requiring manual intervention. My assumption was microsoft uses crowdstrike internally and also took a hit
Not arguing root cause. And, not sure how WinOS rigs would take down a piece of backbone unless someone fucked up really bad.
We're pushing a lot of traffic for research and analysis. Can't go Chicago west. Routing is fucked. For those sessions, we're starting on whatever network looks best at the moment and are auto restarting upon degradation detection.
