Live: Global 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.

      Honestly my philosophy these days, when it comes to anything proprietary. They just can’t keep their grubby little fingers off of working software.

      At least this time it was an accident.

      There is nothing unsafer than local networks.

      AV/XDR is not optional even in offline networks. If you don’t have visibility on your network, you are totally screwed.
