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…
Not only does it (possibly) prevent booting, but it will also bsod it first so you’ll have to see how lucky you get.
Goddamn I hate crowdstrike. Between this and them fucking up and letting malware back into a system, I have nothing nice to say about them.
It’s bsod on boot
And anything encrypted with bitlocker can’t even go into safe mode to fix it
It doesn’t consistently bsod on boot, about half of affected machines did in our environment, but all of them did experience a bsod while running. A good amount of ours just took the bad update, bsod’d and came back up.
