1. This is the beginning.

2. I am switching to Linux soon. 🤬🪟

3. Problem is the architecture of staging and production environments are not always the same. Nobody cares about it.

4. The problem is not enough safeguards, no quick recovery, no backup, no rigorous testing.

5. All they have to do is roll back to the last version that worked. It's quite simple in the tool to do…..just a few clicks, assuming that the system will allow one to get back on it or accept the new "update" to the last working version. This can be updated to tens of thousands of end points in a fairly quick fashion. If one can't do this, then there is a much much bigger issue going on here than just a simple version update or update to virus signatures.

6. 😢

7. And this kids is why we have TEST environments!

8. So, they created the first anti anti-virus software.

9. Now, they let the world know how damaging they can be.

10. It was my corporate owners' incompetence. So, not surprising.
    Test it on some computers 1st, Mr. IT consultant? 🤣

11. They failed to do proper testing, infact 8 out of 10 updates go like this – most of them doesn't cause this scale catastrophe, so they just slip through our eyes.

12. 😂😂😂 Funfact – AI can't do manual work now, Those who over emphasis AI as solution to everything should know that😂😂😂😂.

13. Great coverage of the crisis. Mathieu seems to have a good solution to future problems of this kind.

14. The problem is having a homogeneous computing infrastructure. All computers have the same problem. This time the problem manifested really quickly but other problems could be hidden for a while. No easy solution.
