This site (120bTC.coM): Suddenly crashed! The American technology giant Microsoft suddenly reported a global outage in the afternoon of Beijing time. An actual check of "Downdetector" indeed showed that there was a problem starting this morning, and it suddenly broke out after two o'clock, including common problems for office workers. Microsoft 365 and cloud service Azure all experienced failures and could not function properly, causing users around the world to cry out.
User reports indicate that Microsoft 365 may have problems
User reports indicate that Azure may have problems
The cause of the problem is not yet clear, but Microsoft earlier stated on the Azure website that some users in the central United States are being served The cause of the fault has been identified and efforts are being made to resolve the issue.
However, the network security company "Crowd Strike" issued a statement earlier saying that it was an issue with the company's updates that led to this incident. Said that their engineers are actively working to solve this problem...
Note: Crowd Strike is a security company that provides network security solutions, such as endpoint protection, detection and response, threat intelligence, incident response, Windows security features and Security updates and fixes.
The three major U.S. airlines announced a global grounding, suspected to be affected by Microsoft's crash
The even more frightening impact is that according to the alert issued by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the morning, the three major U.S. airlines: United Airlines, Delta and American Airlines have both suspended all flights.
According to foreign media reports, the FAA asked the tower to tell pilots that due to the current communication problems, flights already in the air will continue to fly, but new flights are not allowed to take off, which is suspected to be affected by the Microsoft crash.
Microsoft stated that its cloud computing service Azure experienced problems in many places in the central United States starting at around 6 pm Eastern Time on the 18th. They are also investigating the reasons affecting Microsoft 365 (Microsoft365) applications and services.
The problem of centralized services, does blockchain have a solution?
Currently our lives are increasingly dependent on centralized services provided by large technology companies. However, the centralized nature also brings potential risks, such as service interruption, data leakage and single points of failure. Microsoft's big crash this time also highlighted this problem again.
In this context, blockchain technology may provide a feasible solution. By distributing and storing data on multiple nodes through decentralized technology, the data integrity and security of the entire network can be jointly maintained and the risk of single point failure can be reduced.
Although under the current technical conditions, blockchain cannot yet afford large-scale data processing, it is conceivable that in the future, the continuous development and application of technology is expected to make decentralized systems a new solution for our lives.
The above is the detailed content of Microsoft crashes globally, causing suspected grounding of three major U.S. airlines! Highlight the security of decentralized systems. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
