Sanctioned Russia emerges unscathed in global IT outage

As the title says, seems their IT is doing just fine without the west's crap.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/sanctioned-russia-emerges-unscathed-global-it-outage-2024-07-19/#:~:text=MOSCOW, July 19 (Reuters),systems could still be vulnerable.

"CrowdStrike, a U.S. cybersecurity company whose widely used "Falcon Sensor" software caused Microsoft Windows to crash, had no known customers in Russia. The Russian market is dominated by local cybersecurity firms such as Kaspersky Labs."

On another sanctions note, an Indian flight to the US had to make an emergency landing in Russia recently. The Russians were kind enough to provide food and water, etc., since in the West's infinite wisdom, the stranded flyer's credit cards didn't work. I doubt the West would do the same.

 

And shortly after those Indians were probably tricked into getting press ganged to fight in Donbas!

 

I believe they would. There is no point in having accidental hostages.
The west would certainly adhere to the "Any port in a storm" custom.
China would direct them out to sea so as to not infect China with foreign DNA.

 

It probably didn't affect computers running Kylin OS either.

 

Wow. I don't care what Bandera supporters think.

 

Bandera is long dead and was not the monster you and your fellows make him out to be. He certainly never invaded a neighboring country and got hundreds of thousands killed to try and grab some land.

 

Oh, so a friendly nazi was he? Just 10's of thousands died at his direction....yeah who needs all those extra jews, poles and Russians, amirite?

 

lol

 

Yep.....I'll take the Jews & Poles anyday....the Orcs are roadkill material afaic.

I've concluded that you're a closet admirer of all things "Nazis" ,Bill. You spare no effort to post this pic of what looks like some Charlottesville mongrels?

 

guess they could not afford CrowdStrike software, sometimes being poor pays off

will CloudStrike create more software channels now, so corps and governments can do one data center then the other, vs all at the same time.... that was just stupid

if a corp has redundancy between 3 data centers, and you push to all three and they all go down.... so much for redundancy

 

I wonder if CrowdStrike outsources to India?

 

I agree that the media took a 180 degree turn on the matter.

Had I never done a google search back in 2014 and gotten pissed-off at the lie printed on the Wikipedia map, I would have never gotten involve with online communities. Probably should have stayed out of it.

I had to fight everyone to get even the most absurd posts about the Ukrainian war deleted from the Wikipedia page - like how 5,000 Blackwater mercenaries had started the war. Republican were against me. Democrats fought tooth and nail to get more Russian propaganda published on Wikipedia.

Things got easier when the Democrats decided to blame Russia for their loss. But you still had these stupid Ukrainians are NAZI's **** being published.

When the Russian were gathering to attack Ukraine, I still thought Putin couldn't be that stupid. He's just do a small attack to gain more territory in the east.

But he was that stupid. And all the western press turned against his completely.

Or maybe he wasn't. Maybe his goal was to completely isolate Russia while keeping his people compliant. He was even able to empty his jails and consolidate power. Castro did something similar to stay in power til he died.

 

After Putin presented a deal to Biden and Co in the months leading up to February, 2022, Biden's Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Putin's Secretary of State Sergey Lavrov that "the US reserves the right to place nuclear weapons in ukraine".

If the Russians had overthrown the Mexican government in 2014, then armed and trained the Mexican cartel...that then was killing Americans living in New Mexico....and Sergey Lavrov told the US Secretary of State that Russia reserved the right to put nukes in Mexico on the US border, just what the hell do you think would happen?

The clowns in the Obama administration are 100% responsible for the Coup and civil war that started in 2014 and the Biden (Obama 3rd term) administration is 100% responsible for the 2022 escalation.

Putin is certainly not a stupid man. But you can only poke the bear so much. Arming and training nazis that are killing ethnic Russians on historical Russian lands is stupid. Russia lost 20+ million in WW2 because of nazis.

The US needs to get out of NATO. Then all the stupid **** will stop.

 

More fiction.

 

Pootler is stupid.....just like the predecessor USSR that invaded Afghanistan back in the 80s, noe RuZzia invading Ukraine, a mother of all quagmire that will lead to the dismantling of the RF....Bill, nice work.

Where did "RuZzia" lose 20 million in WW2,Bill? Care to explain.

 

This is a very Russian analogy. Russians commonly think that the U.S. - Mexico relationship is like the Russian Ukraine relationship. Russians have no knowledge of the U.S. Using Hawaii in your example would make your argument less absurd but it would still be very, very absurd. The argument you made is so absurd I don't recall official Russian propaganda ever promoting it.

For starters, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are closer.

Next, Putin does not fear a nuclear attack from the U.S. or even a conventional one.

Finally, the U.S. worked with Russia to disarm Ukraine of nuclear weapons.

Every part of your analogy falls apart.

This is the Biblical text Putin has his followers cite like a Mantra.

Mantras won't convince people outside the religion of anything.

Putin was not being poked. Putin was frustrated that Ukraine hadn't fallen yet and was told by his ditto-heads that the Ukrainian people loved him and were only waiting for Putin to walk in to save the day.

Putin and his followers are oblivious to what was happening in Ukraine. Ukraine had a very mild nationalism before 2014. Most Ukrainians just wanted the opportunity to visit and trade with the countries of the west. When Putin invaded in 2014, he sparked Ukrainian nationalism throughout the country.

It's a matter of record that Putin invaded before Victor left. So, no coup. Victor left leaving everyone in Kyiv scratching their heads wondering what they were going to do.

I've pointed this out before but some people really hate reality.

And OMG the NAZI thingy. The NAZIs were socialists. The Ukrainians are wanting to leave socialism behind to join capitalism. That's the opposite of NAZIs.

 

Zimmermann Telegram

On March 1, 1917, the American public learned about a German proposal to ally with Mexico if the United States entered the war. Months earlier, British intelligence had intercepted a secret message from German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to the Mexican government, inviting an alliance (along with Japan) that would recover the southwestern states Mexico lost to the U.S. during the Mexican War of 1846-47.
...

The Zimmermann Telegram galvanized American public opinion against Germany once and for all. The telegram was considered perhaps Britain’s greatest intelligence coup of World War I and, coupled with American outrage over Germany’s resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare, was the tipping point persuading the U.S. to join the war.

When power in the US, Britain and the EU is in the hands of clinical idiots, it's no wonder they've covered themselves in manure.

 

And the U.S. immediately invaded Mexico in 1917 . . .



The Zimmermann Telegram show how little the British and the Germans knew about the Americas.

I find that Europeans still know nothing.

 

Hey Bob you got every detail wrong. I do not have to guess, I know you have never set foot in that part of the world nor do you know its history. You are the result of USG Cold War propaganda and current MIC propaganda.

The US lost its mind when the Soviets started building a base in Cuba, so don't give me this **** about bad analogies.

 

I've set foot in that part of the world and I know you're wrong on every detail, and not just in this post but in every single one you make. All you do is parrot Kremlin propaganda and disinformation.

 

Sanctioned Russia emerges unscathed in global IT outage


Yet I am denied using Kaspersky
computer protections.
Go Figure

 

Buy American....not RuZzian.

 

What are you doing on your computer that you think you'd even need that kind of protection?

 

Hey zoomie
Shouldn't you be gathering nuts & berries
for your Winter?

Kaspersky is / was the best
Why should private people
be denied?
Yes, gov't on a whim can choose against
using Kaspersky for gov't systems
but, not my private PC
