ASD Warns of Malicious Websites Following CrowdStrike Software Update Outage

A failed CrowdStrike software update on Friday triggered a global digital outage. To help with recovery, Australias cyber intelligence agency, the Aus

A failed CrowdStrike software update on Friday triggered a global digital outage. To help with recovery, Australias cyber intelligence agency, the Australian Signals Directorate ASD, warned on Saturday about "malicious websites and unofficial code" being shared online. Official CrowdStrike sources were the only ones from whom the ASD advocated getting technical knowledge and updates. As warned by Cyber Security Minister Clare ONeil, Australians should exercise vigilance regarding possible fraud and phishing efforts. The outage brought flight delays and payment problems, which also impacted Qantas and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. According to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, crucial government services, infrastructure, and emergency systems were unaffected. This event has brought considerable attention to CrowdStrike, a wellknown cybersecurity service with nearly 30,000 subscribers worldwide. Read More..

CrowdStrike Falcon Update Causes Global Computer System Crash Across Multiple Sectors

Banks, airlines, hospitals, and government buildings experienced a worldwide computer system breakdown due to CrowdStrikes latest upgrade to its Falco

Banks, airlines, hospitals, and government buildings experienced a worldwide computer system breakdown due to CrowdStrikes latest upgrade to its Falcon sensor programme.

For not doing enough quality checks before releasing the update, CrowdStrike came under fire from security experts. The issue was attributed to a configuration or signature file and caused "blue screens of death." Although CrowdStrike has released patches, recovering the data necessitates pulling out the problematic code by hand. Because Fortune 500 corporations and important government organisations like the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency heavily utilise CrowdStrike, this event emphasises the value of thorough testing.

According to a story by The Information, Chinese enterprises can access Nvidias AI processors through data centre services located outside of China, thanks to the cloud divisions of Google and Microsoft. Based on security considerations, this occurs concurrently with the Biden administrations restrictions on Chinas access to American technology for artificial intelligence. The administration is considering making cloud providers confirm whether foreign firms train AI models in U.S.based data centres. Through foreign data centres, Microsoft provides server rentals—which include Nvidias A100 and H100 chips—to Chinese customers. Similarly, Google guarantees compliance with U.S. export laws by allowing Chinese users to utilise servers outside of mainland China. Reuters contacted the Department of Commerce and the corporations, but none responded. Read More..
