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…

    My last companyoffered apps as either hosted or on-prem. Once they decided the on-prem version had to be Windows for our customer base, it made sense to have one build, one installer. I’m very happy not to be there today.

    My current employer is all Linux servers and Engineers use Mac laptops. The only ones affected were Management and HR, LoL. Back of the line for you, we have customers to help!
