How the global IT outage impacted New York City and the Tri-State Area

A global tech outage brought businesses to a halt Friday. It crippled operations, everything from hospitals and banks to small businesses and airports. CBS New York has team coverage from Tim McNicholas, Jennifer Bisram, Carolyn Gusoff and John Dias.

Can you imagine no videos from TikTok & Other Social Media was cut off for day....people would be jumping ou of their windows like back in the Dark Depression Days

The testament of how to prevent future outages.

[@jqight740]

I don’t think so. This is just the beginning. Check out Terminator 3 when Skynet becomes a computer virus and how they allowed it to run the military. Guess what happens with the rest after AI has just gotten in.

This is a good thing as more people will now seriously consider ditching Microsoft, something I did decades ago and have never regretted.

Also that Sven from Terminator 3 when Skynet becomes a computer virus and we hit the override to allow Skynet to take over the military.

[@GreenBrainLab]

Ok, we can´t use banks. we can´t move, we can´t ask for help and we can´t have cash to buy food... if this isn´t an attack then WTF is this Terminator?????????

Wait when digital currency coming and computer systems go down

[@phantomcruizer]

Good point!
What did happen with Bitcoin while all this was going on?!

[@thegprince93]

I know they're being held at gunpoint to say it's not a cyber attack. But honestly, I wouldn't have known if my bank didn't say shjt.

[@froliccreation7921]

MAC OS :) is the way to go.

[@MarekKolenda-cr8vr]

Class action lawsuits against Microsoft after systems go down

[@Music-wu5de]

Don't you mean lawsuits against CrowdStrike? Why Microsoft?

[@augustwest8862]

It's not Microsoft's fault.

[@DrMarten]

In my telecom days, I once shorted out a key piece of telephone equipment that unfortunately 10 people lost their phone service for 5 minutes, in Menomonie falls, Wisconsin.
