Surprisingly, the people who made the Shiba Inu facetious coin poked fun at Microsoft in public after the worst IT outage in history. A flawed software update from Texas-based cybersecurity company CrowdStrike was what caused the outage earlier today. The widely used Windows operating system could not be used.
The global problem had an impact on many areas, such as emergency services, hospitals, hotels, airlines, and more. In a number of US states, 911 services had trouble working regularly, and some TV news stations had trouble airing their shows.
Shiba Inu Criticizes Microsoft
George Kurtz, CEO of CrowdStrike, said that a fix has been put in place to fix the problem. However, because many of the damaged computers will require manual repair, the recovery process is likely to take a while. At the time of this writing, CrowdStrike shares had dropped by 10.5%, while Microsoft shares had dropped by almost 1%.
The Shiba Inu team showed how strong their Shibarium layer-2 network was in the middle of all the chaos. The team says that Shibarium handled about 5,400 transactions on July 18 and stayed fully active during the outage. The team said in a sharp post on social media that Windows needed “a serious reboot.”
The Shiba Inu team is not the only one who thinks this way. Many proponents of Bitcoin also used social media to point out that, in contrast to many conventional banks, the leading digital currency was unaffected by the IT issue.
People are talking more about how reliable centralized IT systems are and what the benefits of autonomous technologies might be. As the work to get back online continues, both Microsoft and CrowdStrike are under more and more pressure to fix the security holes that this unprecedented outage has shown.
