1
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,493
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,773
Speaker 1: from News Talks at B.

3
00:00:12,933 --> 00:00:16,133
Speaker 2: Twenty two to eleven Non News Talks EDB A week

4
00:00:16,213 --> 00:00:20,173
Speaker 2: on from the crowd Strike tech outage, and still not

5
00:00:20,333 --> 00:00:24,133
Speaker 2: all systems are back online. Our Textbert Paul Stenhouse is

6
00:00:24,173 --> 00:00:26,533
Speaker 2: here with the details. Paul, now that we've had a

7
00:00:26,573 --> 00:00:28,333
Speaker 2: little bit of water under the bridge, talk to us

8
00:00:28,373 --> 00:00:29,173
Speaker 2: about the fallout.

9
00:00:29,733 --> 00:00:31,413
Speaker 3: I told you it was going to be there. I

10
00:00:31,493 --> 00:00:35,053
Speaker 3: told you that this was basically like a coming right

11
00:00:35,333 --> 00:00:35,853
Speaker 3: where if.

12
00:00:35,773 --> 00:00:37,493
Speaker 2: You were one hundred percent right on that front.

13
00:00:37,973 --> 00:00:40,853
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And so the Crossfake CEO said in the

14
00:00:40,893 --> 00:00:45,013
Speaker 3: post yesterday that over ninety seven percent of systems are

15
00:00:45,053 --> 00:00:49,493
Speaker 3: back online, but Microsoft estimates that eight point five million

16
00:00:49,493 --> 00:00:51,733
Speaker 3: PCs have been disabled. So if you do some quick math,

17
00:00:52,013 --> 00:00:56,373
Speaker 3: that means there's still quarter of a million devices remaining offline,

18
00:00:56,453 --> 00:01:00,213
Speaker 3: which is that's a phenomenal amount. Again for the people

19
00:01:00,293 --> 00:01:04,973
Speaker 3: who were actually trying to be good corporate citizens and

20
00:01:05,013 --> 00:01:07,973
Speaker 3: actually try to protect their system, you know, they kind

21
00:01:07,973 --> 00:01:11,453
Speaker 3: of got a little screwed. In the US though, Delta

22
00:01:11,493 --> 00:01:15,853
Speaker 3: Airlines was probably one of the most high profile victims

23
00:01:15,093 --> 00:01:20,933
Speaker 3: of the outage, and they still have lingering issues and

24
00:01:21,373 --> 00:01:23,813
Speaker 3: their CEO has had to come out and apologize. There

25
00:01:23,853 --> 00:01:27,853
Speaker 3: are continued flight disruptions, and it seems that those issues

26
00:01:27,853 --> 00:01:31,133
Speaker 3: are related to some of the systems for crewing planes

27
00:01:31,253 --> 00:01:34,533
Speaker 3: with pilots and flight attendants. Apparently people are sitting at

28
00:01:34,573 --> 00:01:37,373
Speaker 3: the gate and are just like trying to flag down.

29
00:01:37,493 --> 00:01:39,253
Speaker 3: This was earlier in the week, trying to flag down

30
00:01:39,293 --> 00:01:41,853
Speaker 3: just any pilot or flight attendant to like maybe fly

31
00:01:41,933 --> 00:01:44,453
Speaker 3: their plane for them, because Delta doesn't seem to know

32
00:01:44,573 --> 00:01:47,053
Speaker 3: or didn't seem to know where any of their pilots

33
00:01:47,133 --> 00:01:51,413
Speaker 3: or flight attendants were not good. And the stock price

34
00:01:51,453 --> 00:01:54,973
Speaker 3: of CrowdStrike it kind of may tried to make a

35
00:01:55,013 --> 00:01:59,053
Speaker 3: recovery on Tuesday, but it's down ten percent since last week,

36
00:01:59,093 --> 00:02:01,533
Speaker 3: about ten percent, and it's kind of taken them back

37
00:02:01,573 --> 00:02:03,133
Speaker 3: to where they were at the end of twenty twenty three,

38
00:02:03,133 --> 00:02:05,293
Speaker 3: so effectively wiped out the twenty twenty four games.

39
00:02:05,293 --> 00:02:05,773
Speaker 2: I'm surprised.

40
00:02:05,813 --> 00:02:09,133
Speaker 3: I'm not words completely Yeah, they're not like completely in

41
00:02:09,213 --> 00:02:12,733
Speaker 3: the in the scene, but can you know these reports

42
00:02:12,773 --> 00:02:14,933
Speaker 3: today have another blue screen of death issue. You know,

43
00:02:15,053 --> 00:02:18,213
Speaker 3: we're like your I this time not related to CrowdStrike,

44
00:02:18,333 --> 00:02:23,973
Speaker 3: but Microsoft the BitLocker, which is their encryption service that's

45
00:02:24,013 --> 00:02:26,013
Speaker 3: having some issues and they're having to roll out of shoes,

46
00:02:26,213 --> 00:02:28,613
Speaker 3: so there will be some system admins around here, and

47
00:02:28,693 --> 00:02:30,573
Speaker 3: it's like, oh my gosh.

48
00:02:30,413 --> 00:02:34,653
Speaker 2: Seems like it's yeah, and just again the irony of

49
00:02:34,693 --> 00:02:36,293
Speaker 2: all these companies that we're trying to do the right

50
00:02:36,333 --> 00:02:41,813
Speaker 2: thing to protect themselves from cybersecurity threats instead got taken down. Hey,

51
00:02:41,813 --> 00:02:47,213
Speaker 2: WhatsApp now has one hundred million monthly users in the US.

52
00:02:47,213 --> 00:02:48,893
Speaker 2: That's a huge sign of growth.

53
00:02:49,453 --> 00:02:52,253
Speaker 3: It is it is because this is America is just

54
00:02:52,453 --> 00:02:56,333
Speaker 3: not a WhatsApp kind of land. It's really funny. I've

55
00:02:56,333 --> 00:02:58,213
Speaker 3: got friends in the UK or friends in New Zealand.

56
00:02:58,213 --> 00:03:00,453
Speaker 3: New Zealand seems to love Facebook Messenger I found in

57
00:03:00,493 --> 00:03:04,093
Speaker 3: my circles, and then the UK they're just obsessed with

58
00:03:04,133 --> 00:03:07,853
Speaker 3: WhatsApp and America all about app, all about I message

59
00:03:07,893 --> 00:03:10,173
Speaker 3: and so this is big. They have made US spent

60
00:03:10,653 --> 00:03:14,453
Speaker 3: sixteen billion dollars and twenty fourteen to buy WhatsApp, and

61
00:03:14,493 --> 00:03:17,053
Speaker 3: they've really struggled to get growth. So the one hundred

62
00:03:17,053 --> 00:03:19,693
Speaker 3: million marks really big. Not surprisingly, they're seeing their biggest

63
00:03:19,693 --> 00:03:22,813
Speaker 3: growth in places that are kind of immigrant friendly. I

64
00:03:22,813 --> 00:03:28,053
Speaker 3: guess Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Seattle, but it's just

65
00:03:28,133 --> 00:03:29,933
Speaker 3: kind of it's just not a thing, and so they're

66
00:03:29,973 --> 00:03:31,453
Speaker 3: really trying to make it a thing. I know, like

67
00:03:31,453 --> 00:03:34,293
Speaker 3: one hundred million people, but that's like one in three.

68
00:03:34,413 --> 00:03:37,293
Speaker 3: It's still not really and that's monthly users. Yeah, so

69
00:03:37,453 --> 00:03:40,893
Speaker 3: someone like me who's forced who's WhatsApp when it gets

70
00:03:41,173 --> 00:03:43,573
Speaker 3: when one of my friends in the UK wants to

71
00:03:43,693 --> 00:03:46,253
Speaker 3: message me, I'm one of those monthly users. I'm not

72
00:03:46,333 --> 00:03:47,093
Speaker 3: a daily user.

73
00:03:47,173 --> 00:03:50,053
Speaker 2: Yeah, yet it'll change, Paul, You just gonna get the

74
00:03:50,053 --> 00:03:52,413
Speaker 2: family chat like, this is the thing. The problem is

75
00:03:52,453 --> 00:03:54,733
Speaker 2: though that were problems. Well, the problem is too many

76
00:03:54,773 --> 00:03:56,733
Speaker 2: people you do do the chat now? Yeh see, we've

77
00:03:56,773 --> 00:04:00,213
Speaker 2: got the my wife is doing whatever she can to

78
00:04:00,293 --> 00:04:03,893
Speaker 2: avoid getting sucked into the family chat stage. Oh yeah

79
00:04:04,013 --> 00:04:07,253
Speaker 2: yeah yeah. Well, to be asked, I don't blame it.

80
00:04:07,853 --> 00:04:10,853
Speaker 3: We've ti multiple we've got multiple versions of family chats,

81
00:04:10,893 --> 00:04:12,773
Speaker 3: so with significant others, some without.

82
00:04:13,773 --> 00:04:16,173
Speaker 2: It can be dangerous. It can be dangerous and punishing,

83
00:04:16,533 --> 00:04:17,893
Speaker 2: thank you very much. You know when you come back

84
00:04:17,933 --> 00:04:20,813
