國際時事跟讀 Ep.K827: Global IT Meltdown: CrowdStrike Update Causes Widespread Computer Crashes

Highlights 主題摘要：
A single software update from CrowdStrike caused a global IT meltdown, affecting millions of Windows computers and highlighting the fragility of our interconnected digital systems.The incident impacted various industries worldwide, from airports to broadcasting, demonstrating how dependent modern society has become on technology and its vulnerability to disruptions.While CrowdStrike responded quickly, the scale of the problem made it challenging to implement fixes, prompting organizations to reassess their reliance on single-point software solutions.
On July 19, 2024, a routine software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike led to a worldwide IT breakdown, affecting millions of Windows computers. The incident, which caused chaos across various industries, stemmed from a single coding error in the company's Falcon sensor program. This article explores what happened and its impact.

2024 年 7 月 19 日，網路安全公司 CrowdStrike 的一次例行軟體更新，引發了全球性的資訊系統崩潰，影響了數百萬台微軟 Windows 電腦。這起事件源於該公司 Falcon 感應器程式中的一個編碼錯誤，造成了各行各業的混亂。本文將探討事件的來龍去脈和影響範圍。

The trouble began when CrowdStrike released a sensor configuration update for its Falcon program, a cloud-based cybersecurity tool used by many businesses and organizations. The update, intended to enhance protection against cyber attacks, contained a "logic error" that resulted in Windows systems crashing. Users across the globe reported seeing the infamous "Blue Screen of Death" and experiencing reboot loops, rendering their devices unusable. The problem affected Windows version 7.11 and above, while Mac and Linux systems remained unaffected. This type of update was routine for CrowdStrike, with multiple releases occurring daily since the program's launch.

問題始於 CrowdStrike 為其 Falcon 程式發布的一次感應器設置更新。 Falcon 是一款雲端網路安全工具，廣泛應用於各類企業和組織。這次更新本意是加強對網路攻擊的防護，卻因一個「邏輯錯誤」導致微軟 Windows 系統崩潰。全球用戶紛紛報告遇到了眾所厭惡的「藍色畫面」，並陷入重啟循環，導致設備無法使用。這個問題影響了 Windows 7.11 及以上版本，而蘋果的 Mac 和 Linux 的系統則不受影響。對 CrowdStrike 來說，這類更新是例行操作，自程式推出以來每天都會發布多次。

The impact of this IT outage was felt far and wide. Airports faced operational challenges, supermarket check-outs malfunctioned, a

Topic: Sellout Culture Is a Problem for Pro Golf

Even if you don’t play or follow golf — which I don’t — you’re probably aware of the controversy now engulfing the game. A number of the world’s top-ranked pro players, notably Phil Mickelson, made extremely lucrative deals to play in a new tour, the LIV Golf International Series, sponsored by Saudi Arabia. The PGA Tour, which has traditionally dominated the sport, responded by suspending 17 of these players.

即便不打或不追高球新聞—我也沒追—你也可能知道現在這項運動捲入爭議。一些世界頂級職業球員，尤其是米克森，達成極其有利可圖的交易參加沙烏地阿拉伯贊助的新巡迴賽，即LIV高球國際系列賽。傳統上主導這項運動的職業高球美巡賽（PGA Tour）對此做出回應，將其中17名球員禁賽。

The Saudis are obviously engaged in reputation-laundering — greenswashing? — in an attempt to make people forget about the atrocities their regime has perpetrated. It’s less clear what motivated the PGA. Did it consider the LIV series flawed, not a proper golf tour? Was it attempting to squash competition? Or was the problem with the LIV series’ sponsors?

沙國顯然在清洗名聲—是在「漂白」嗎？試圖讓人們忘記他們政權所犯下的暴行。目前還不太清楚什麼原因驅使PGA這樣做。它是否認為LIV系列賽有缺陷，不是個像樣的高球巡迴賽？它會不會是在試圖壓制競爭嗎？或是LIV系列賽贊助者的問題？

PGA attendees surveyed by ProGolf weekly were in no doubt: An overwhelming majority attributed Mickelson’s exclusion to “media/cancel culture.” And I hope they’re right. I mean, if getting paid big bucks to provide favorable PR to a regime that deals with critical journalists by killing them and dismembering them with a bone saw doesn’t warrant cancellation, what does? And yet Mickelson and others were willing to provide that PR.

接受《ProGolf》周刊調查的PGA與會者均無疑問，絕大多數將米克森遭剔除歸因於「媒體/取消文化」。我希望他們是對的。我的意思是，拿大錢幫一個政權提供公關服務，而這個政權把批評他們的記者殺掉還肢解，如果這不是一個取消的正當理由，那什麼才是？而米克森和其他人卻願意提供這種公關服務。

So if you ask me, the real story here isn’t that the PGA may (or may not) have found a line it won’t cross. It is that so many members of the American elite evidently have no such lines.

所以，若你問我，情況並非PGA可能（或可能沒有）找到一條不會跨越的線，而是這個美國菁英組織許多成員明顯沒有這樣的界線。

What explains the rise

背景故事：
很久很久以前，John老師覺得好玩，就找了同樣在台教英語的台灣女婿(南非人)開啟錄Podcast的里程，
當時的器材與網路平台都不熟悉，也不上手，面對麥克風還是會抖～ 這個單元也啟發了現在大家常聽的Vocab與15Mins Cafe單元。
不過近期有老朋友們敲碗，說找不到了，希望想要聽，要John老師重制上架。

那每週四就一起來聽聽當時Podcast菜雞們在網路上做英語教學所踏出的第一步！

France employees are getting the legal right to avoid work emails outside working hours.
working hours - 工作時間/時數

The new law, which has been dubbed the "right to disconnect", comes into force on 1 January.
right to disconnect - 斷線的權利

France has a working week of 35 hours, in place since 2000.
working week of 35 hours - 每週35工作小時

Supporters of the new law say that employees who are expected to check and reply to their work emails out of hours are not being paid fairly for their overtime, and that the practice carries a risk of stress, burnout, sleep problems and relationship difficulties.
are not being paid fairly for their overtime - 並沒有給付公平的加班費

Some private companies have previously tried to put limits on their employees' use of work email outside working hours.
For instance, in 2014, the German vehicle-maker Daimler set up an optional service for workers going on holiday; instead of sending an out-of-office reply, they could opt to have all new emails automatically deleted while they were away.

Daimler - 德國賓士
all new emails automatically deleted - 所有新的郵件自動刪除

It's the middle of summer, and Shimin brought us a classic "summer jam" from the "King" himself. Nat King Cole has sang some of the world's most renowned Jazz songs and left us a classic legacy for the ages.

Those lazy hazy crazy days of summer is a joyful song that I learnt in my singing class in elementary school. It is super catchy and easy to learn. Do you know any other classic Nat King Cole songs? Drop us a comment and we will give you a shout out for sharing!
