    2 911s stretching about 5 days for a legacy product. Lots of ec2 rescues and terminated databases. Linux side was fine but ouch.

    We weren’t able to send work orders to maintenance for a day. We sent it the next day.

    I was devastated.

    I was camping and forgot to bring cash and the shops had card machines, so I wasn’t able to send a postcard

    We had to jump through minor hoops on EC2 to recover a handful of servers. And once those were back online, there were some scheduled reports and similar things to get caught back up. The downstream impact could have been much worse, but we got somewhat lucky on the timing with our weekly processes.

    Our poor network support guy had to go around the building and fix a couple dozen workstations. We’re a “small shop, skeleton IT crew” type of place. So we were back to normal in less than a day.

    I can’t imagine what a nightmare it must have been for a “large shop, skeleton IT crew” type of place.

    Non of our customers use it so no effect on us. Then again, I am a network engineer so even if it did it not like I could help much.

    I work mostly with FortiNet gear so SSL 0 day are my bad days.

    I was supposed to go somewhere flying Delta. I had to reschedule for another airline and got to where I was going a day later than originally planned.

    Zero affect. Not traveling, and work systems apparently aren’t protected by it … not sure if that’s good or bad 😂

    Everything opened slowly at work for a day, and a bunch of coworkers got a free paid half day off because they couldn’t login.

    My company was only minimally affected, directly (not a lot of Windows machines in our org). But almost all of our partners were dead in the water for the day, so our systems all worked fine but we still couldn’t actually do anything.

      They’re “push” updates so it’s not something you have to do. Also, it would only affect you if your laptop was running Falcon Endpoint Protection.

    It caused me to not get a job there (I had been interviewing with them for a Linux Engineer position for a few weeks beforehand).

    Other than that, it didn’t affect me at all.
