Airports, banks, stock exchanges, and countless other critical operations got thrown into chaos!
In an unprecedented event, a recent CrowdStrike update had caused a global IT meltdown, leading to widespread Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors, and crippling 8.5 million Microsoft Windows systems.
What triggered this massive disruption? How did Microsoft step in to provide a lifeline? And what are the next steps for recovery?
Swipe to uncover the full story, including expert insights and recovery steps for those affected.
The document discusses Blue Eyes technology, which aims to create machines with human-like sensory abilities. It describes two types of emotional sensory devices: an Emotion Mouse that detects temperature and infrared signals from the hand, and Expression Glasses that track interest and confusion levels based on eye movement and gaze. The Blue Eyes system uses a Data Acquisition Unit to collect physiological sensor data from operators and send it over Bluetooth to the Central System Unit for real-time analysis and alarm triggering if needed. Potential applications include monitoring operators in power stations, aircraft control centers, and vehicles to help prevent accidents. Future enhancements could allow household devices to function based on eye gaze and voice commands.
Mises à jour d'Apple pour macOS, iPad OS, iOS et Safari résolvant deux exploits Zero Day. Microsoft a publié des mises à jour résolvant 97 nouveaux CVE.

This document summarizes an upcoming webinar on the July 2023 Patch Tuesday. The webinar will include an overview of the July Patch Tuesday updates from Microsoft, discussions of vulnerabilities in the news, details on Microsoft bulletins and releases, and a Q&A section. Key topics that will be covered include Microsoft resolving 130 CVEs this month, 6 confirmed zero-day exploits including an exploited Office vulnerability, and changes to Netlogon and Kerberos enforcement. Known issues and mitigations for the Windows and Office updates will also be discussed.
Nothing like starting off the new decade with rumors your computer cryptography has a vulnerability which can result in a lack of trust for almost everything you do! The reality is that this vulnerability has not been publicly disclosed nor exploited and our friends at Microsoft have a solution. Besides the Crypto vulnerability, the most notable news is still the final public patch release for Windows 7, Server 2008, and Server 2008 R2. Apply the updates soon; major security vulnerabilities are exploited quickly!

The webinar also provides details on upcoming end of support for Windows Server 2012 and lifecycle reminders for supported versions of Windows 10 and 11.
The document discusses Blue Eyes technology, which aims to create machines with human-like perceptual abilities. It describes two types of emotional sensory devices: an Emotion Mouse that detects hand emotions and Expression Glasses that track eye expressions. The core components of the Blue Eyes system are the Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) worn by operators to collect sensor data, and the Central System Unit (CSU) that receives data for analysis and visualization. The system monitors operators' physiological conditions in real-time to ensure safety. Potential applications include power stations, ships, and aircraft. Future enhancements could enable household appliances to function through gaze and voice commands.
The document discusses Blue Eyes technology, which aims to create machines with human-like perceptual abilities. It describes two types of emotional sensory devices: an Emotion Mouse that detects hand emotions and Expression Glasses that track eye expressions. The core components of the Blue Eyes system are the Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) and Central System Unit (CSU). The DAU collects physiological sensor data via Bluetooth and sends it to the CSU for analysis and visualization. The system monitors operators for safety and works by linking wearable sensors to a central processing unit.
The document discusses why software testing is important. It notes that software today controls many safety critical systems and embedded devices. Software failures can have catastrophic consequences, costing lives and billions of dollars in losses. Testing aims to find faults early in the development process and prevent failures by verifying software meets requirements. The costs of inadequate testing are high, so testing is necessary to improve quality, reduce costs from bugs, and ensure customer satisfaction.

Blue Eyes is a technology conducted by the research team of IBM at its Almaden Research Center (ARC) in San Jose, California since 1997. Blue eyes technology makes a computer to understand and sense human feelings and behavior and also enables the computer to react according to the sensed emotional levels. The aim of the blue eyes technology is to give human power or abilities to a computer, so that the machine can naturally interact with human beings as we interact with each other. All human beings have some perceptual capabilities, the ability to understand each other’s emotional level or feelings from their facial expressions. Blue eyes technology aims at creating a computer that have the abilities to understand the perceptual powers of human being by recognizing their facial expressions and react accordingly to them.
Imagine, a beautiful world, where humans collaborate with computers!! .The computer can talk, listen or screech aloud!! .With the help of speech recognition and facial recognition systems, computers gathers information from the users and starts interacting with them according to their mood variations. Computer recognizes your emotional levels by a simple touch on the mouse and it can interact with us as an intimate partner. The machine feels your presence; verifies your identity and starts interacting with you and even it will dial and call to your home at any urgent situations. This all is happening with this “Blue Eyes” technology.

Blue Screen Of Death | Windows Down | Biggest IT failure
1. NEWS
How did a Faulty System update
crashed 8.5 million Windows devices?
Know Everything >>
2. A detection logic update
released by CrowdStrike
caused their Falcon sensor
for Windows to consume
100% of a single CPU core.
This led to significant
performance degradation
across numerous systems
worldwide.
3. An Airline In India resorted to handing
out hand written boarding passes!
4. The CrowdStrike outage, which is being
described as the largest IT disruption to date,
severely impacted operations at airports, banks,
and stock exchanges, and crippled computer
systems for millions of Microsoft Windows users,
leading to a significant reduction in air traffic.
5. The update exposed a bug
in the Memory Scanning
prevention policy of the
Falcon sensor, specifically
affecting sensor versions
7.15 and earlier. This bug
resulted in excessive CPU
usage, impacting system
performance.
6. The issue originated from
CrowdStrike's engineering team,
who released the faulty detection
logic update without identifying the
bug during their testing process.
7. CrowdStrike issued an update to fix the bug causing
widespread Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors, but not
all machines could automatically receive it, requiring
manual intervention.
Microsoft released a recovery tool, a bootable USB drive,
which accesses the disk via Windows PE and
automatically deletes the problematic CrowdStrike file,
allowing proper booting.
They Resolved the Issue..
8. What’s your key takeaway on this outage?
