A gigante da tecnologia Microsoft informou neste sábado (20) que o apagão tecnológico que afetou diversos setores ao redor do mundo prejudicou 8,5 milhões de máquinas com o Windows, software fabricado pela Microsoft. Montante representa menos de 1% do total dos processadores da empresa, segundo informou a companhia.
“Embora a porcentagem tenha sido pequena, os amplos impactos econômicos e sociais refletem o uso do CrowdStrike por empresas que executam muitos serviços críticos”, afirmou a companhia em blog.
A Microsoft explicou que o apagão ocorreu porque a CrowdStrike - empresa independente de segurança cibernética - fez uma atualização do sistema, o que levou ao apagão de softwares de Tecnologia de Informação (TI) em todo o mundo.
“Desde que este evento começou, mantivemos comunicação contínua com nossos clientes, CrowdStrike e desenvolvedores externos para coletar informações e agilizar soluções. Reconhecemos a interrupção que este problema causou para as empresas e nas rotinas diárias de muitas pessoas”, acrescentou, em nota, a empresa.
A Microsoft disse ainda que trabalha junto à CrowndStrike para desenvolver uma solução, mobilizando “centenas de engenheiros e especialistas” para atuar diretamente com os clientes e restaurar os serviços. Colaboraram também outros provedores de nuvem - serviços de armazenamento on-line de dados - como a Google Gloud Platform e a Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Ao finalizar o informe, a gigante da tecnologia disse que o apagão demonstra a natureza interconectada de todos os sistemas que cercam o ambiente cibernético. “Também é um lembrete de quão importante é para todos nós no ecossistema de tecnologia priorizar a operação com implantação segura e recuperação de desastres usando os mecanismos que existem”, concluiu.
Apagão global
Na madrugada desta sexta-feira (19), uma falha na atualização de conteúdo relacionada ao sensor de segurança CrowdStrike Falcon, que serve para detectar possíveis invasões de hackers, foi a causa do apagão cibernético que deixou milhares de empresas e pessoas em todo o mundo sem acesso a sistemas operacionais, especialmente o Windows, da Microsoft.
O evento afetou indústrias e serviços de diversos tipos, desde bancários, de transporte, de saúde até meios de comunicações de todo o mundo.
