Amid the ongoing Microsoft outage, a man named Vincent Flibustier allegedly claimed that he fired the "update" that reportedly caused Microsoft Windows to crash globally. In a post on X, Vincent Flibustier shared a video and claimed that he was behind the widespread outage that has caused chaos around the world, leading to flight disruptions and banking services taking a hit. He also claimed to be a former employee of CrowdStrike. In the 1-minute 4-second video clip, Flibustier said that he made a small update to CrowdStrike's system, which led to a global outage. However, several netizens said that the video was AI-generated. A few others questioned Vincent Flibustier and asked if he was the one behind the outage. It must be noted that the claims made by Flibustier are not true. According to France TV, Vincent Flibustier is the founder of Nordpresse, a website that is halfway between a parody newspaper and a fake news factory. A fact check of the video revealed that the clip made by Flibustier is a satirical video made for fun. Elon Musk Calls Microsoft Windows Crash As ‘Biggest IT Fail Ever’.

Vincent Flibustier Shares Fake News, Says X User
Vincent Flibustier, who promotes fake news literacy, also posts fake news. But he follows up with spoilers in French to clear up confusion amongst the doubtful. I love that.
…he also appears to be in need of employment, should anyone be looking for ex-CrowdStrike coders. https://t.co/gJbyJk927R pic.twitter.com/VEwsLqMddv
