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…

      I can only see 368 comments rn, there must be some weird-ass puritan server blocking .ml users. It’s not beehaw as I can see comments from there.

      I can only conclude that it is probably some liberals trying to block “Tankies” and no comment of value was lost.
