☆ How the world’s tech crashed all at once
  + stars: | 2024-07-19 | by ( Sean Lyngaas | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —When computers and tech systems around the world went down Friday, snarling airports, closing Social Security offices and limiting jail operations, many people had one question: How on Earth could this happen in 2024? CrowdStrike is everywhereNumerous Fortune 500 companies use CrowdStrike’s cybersecurity software to detect and block hacking threats. Computers running Microsoft Windows — one of the most popular software programs in the world — crashed because of the faulty way a code update issued by CrowdStrike is interacting with Windows. Anne Neuberger, a senior White House tech and cybersecurity official, spoke of the “risks of consolidation” in the tech supply chain when asked about the IT outage on Friday. The infamous hack of the US government using SolarWinds software in 2020, which US officials blamed on Russia, came through a tampered software update.

☆ Millions of Americans’ personal data exposed in global hack
  + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( Sean Lyngaas | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
CNN —Millions of people in Louisiana and Oregon have had their data compromised in the sprawling cyberattack that has also hit the US federal government, state agencies said late Thursday. The breach has affected 3.5 million Oregonians with driver’s licenses or state ID cards, and anyone with that documentation in Louisiana, authorities said. The hackers exploited a flaw in a popular file-transfer software known as MOVEit made by Massachusetts-based Progress Software. Hundreds of organizations across the globe have likely had their data exposed after the hackers used the flaw to break into networks in recent weeks. US officials described the cyberattack as an opportunistic, financially motivated hack that has not caused disruptions to agency services.
