    My guess as a Linux admin in IT.

    I understand the fix takes ~5 minutes per system, must be done in person, and cannot be farmed out to users.

    There are likely conversations about alternatives or mitigations to/for crowdstrike.

    Most things were likely fixed yesterday. (Depending on staffing levels.) Complications could go on for a week. Fallout of various sorts for a month.

    Lawsuits, disaster planning, cyberattacks (targeting crowdstrike companies and those that hastily stopped using it) will go on for months and years.

    The next crowdstrike mistake could happen at any time…

      Sounds like the tagline to an action movie.

      Fully agree as a security engineer with a mostly Microsoft shop. We have some pending laptop fixes, but I think we’ve talked our cio out of hastily pulling out of CrowdStrike. Really, it didn’t hit us hard. Maybe down for 2-3 hours around 4 am Friday morning. Microsoft gives us many more issues more frequently and we don’t have constant talk of pulling it out…

        Maybe you should ;)

        As a Linux user I deal with Windows issues way too often administering other laptops.
