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…

    Even if they do, though, if your business isn’t 20 people at 1 location, it’s going to be a giant headache to get people everywhere to fix them all.

      oh no doubt, I was telling an old manager of mine today that this “fix” will likely take weeks as he thought it’d just be something they could update. yeah…no. it’s a manual fix for each individul machine. I do not envy anyone working in IT right now.
