THE GLOBAL IT OUTAGE YOU WITNESSED WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT!

The purpose of this thread is to explain non-IT and to non information/cyber security professionals why I believe the outage you are seeing around the world due to the update from #Crowdstrike is not an accident.

Before we begin – introduction.

Hi everyone. My name is Ehden Biber. I’m known as the person behind #PfizerLeak, and most of my writing here on X/Twitter has been on ph@rma related topics. HOWEVER, my professional work has been information security and cybersecurity.

My credentials include:

· Head of information security in Metro Bank (UK).
· Merck/MSD Information security office for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
· Consultant to insurance and financial institutes.

The opinion you are about to read is based on YEARS of experience.

Let’s start with what we have – HUGE number of systems around the world has crashed because of a deployment of an update to a software that was installed on them, that came from a company called Crowdstrike, making them display the infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSoD).
