IT News and Updates
As your IT - Computer Service Provider,
we feel it is our duty to keep you informed of the latest news and updates related to the computer industry:
Windows 10 is end of life in October 2024:
Windows 10 had a good life with a release date of July 2015. It has lived a long life but all good thing (or as good as it was going to get, depending on your point of view) must come to an end. Microsoft has official announced that Windows 10 will no longer be support in October 2024. Yes, your computer will still run, but for a more detailed answer see the FAQ page.
Microsoft Network Outage:
right on the heels of the Crowdstrike outage, On July 30th Microsoft experienced an outage of their Office 365, Azure and other cloud-based services.
Their investigation led them to announce that it was a malicious attack (a Denial of Service for all fellow geeks).
All Services are up and running again, though the investigation as who, why and where is still on going.
Crowd Strike Outage:
So what it really boils down to is that there was an error in a line of code in an update that was sent out to their END-Point protection systems (Anti Virus Protection). Crowd Strike is quick to send out updates when they discover new virus threats to their clients computers. Unfortunately this error caused more harm than good. Additional updates have since been released to resolve the problem. heir protection is back functioning properly. There was no "hack" or other malicious activity.
