The company I work for is affected by this:
Computers crashing and then can’t reboot. People where I work have been told to attempt to boot in safe mode and, if that fails, BYOD (use their own PCs). I’m a contractor so already use my own laptop and I wouldn’t put that shit on my machine even if I’d heard of it before today.
I’d hate to be a CrowdStrike employee right now.

Maybe don’t use Microsoft for critical infrastructure? The world has gone crazy.

Also, don’t use Texas software in your critical jobs? They are used to turning power off whenever…

Their inferior electrical grid is how they stick it to the man and let ‘em know that Texas could secede if they wanted to!

I hate to be a Crowdstrike shareholder right now.

To be honest, I was expecting a worse reaction, but we’ll see when the market opens. I’m not selling, though.

CrowdStrike Says Global IT Outage Impacting Windows PCs, But Mac and Linux Hosts Not Affected
A widespread system failure is currently affecting numerous Windows devices globally, causing critical boot failures across various industries, including banks, rail networks, airlines, retailers, broadcasters, healthcare, and many more sectors.
The workaround to break the infinite boot cycle on affected Windows machines involves manually booting into safe mode, navigating to the CrowdStrike directory, and deleting the system file that caused the problem.
They can’t roll out a fix remotely and the place I work has over 10k employees spread across timezones all over the world. What a headache.
Edit: at least there is a fix. I can’t imagine the size of the lawsuits if they actually bricked all those PCs. The disruption to business would be horrendous.

This is just AI training for the eventual war against humans.

Well now I’m conflicted:
several rail networks over the world have ground to a halt.

The tracking for my vanity is down too. Maybe the office will close today!

Well if all servers are down, can’t get your data stolen, right?

It was a CRS update patch that caused this.

Let it all burn to the ground
