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.

    YIKES … I got one worse still … I was NOC at a company where one of my friends from Desktop services made a mistake pushing hard drive encryption and basically corrupted the hard drive of a large number em laptops. It wasn’t everyone thank god because they were rolling it out in stages … but it was THOUSANDS and there was no real way to get it back. Every single one had to get re-imaged.
