    I mean, it only took CrowdStrike to bring it all down.

    I don’t know how close you’ve been following it, but CrowdStrike pushed an updated config file that contained 42kb of 0’s.

    On reboot, Windows machines BSOD.

      Not closely at all; blissfully ignorant here in the peanut gallery :) Just read up a bit:

      CrowdStrike says users should boot the computer into Safe Mode or Windows Recovery Environment, navigate to the CrowdStrike directory, and delete the faulty file “C-00000291*.sys.”

      I read “users” as “IT support”, and “the computer” as “every affected computer in your organization”. I don’t envy those poor folks in IT. Well I often do actually, but not today!

        Yeah, the alternate solution is to try re-booting 15 times.
