I'd argue the infrastructure of the Internet isn't to blame here, it sounds like a software/config bug at Crowdstrike. There are wider discussions around over-reliance on cloud-based tech too. But the good old Internet can hold its head up high IMHO.
I'm not really sure cloud has much blame here either.
Imagine it's 1998 and Norton push a new definition file that makes NAV think kernel32 is a virus. The only real difference today is that always-on means we all get the update together, instead of waiting for mum to get off the phone this evening.
We got an email this morning telling us none of our usual airlines could take bookings right now. That wouldn't have been much different in 1998, airline bookings have been centralised for my entire lifetime.
