Live: Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world
www.abc.net.au
There are reports of IT outages affecting major institutions in Australia and internationally.

All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It’s all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.

Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We’ll see if that changes over the weekend…

    You can do this with CS as well, but the dumbasses where pushing major updates via channel files which aren’t for that. They tried to squeak by without putting out a major update via the sensor updates which you can control. Basically they fucked up their own structure because a bunch of people where complaining and more than likely management got involved and overwrote best practices.
