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.
The fact that they can fuck up this bad and only lose 20 percent is kind of hilarious. Major infrastructure across the world is on its knees because of their fuck up. If that’s not enough to kill them then nothing is.
Edit - when I checked they were rebounding, only down 11.3 percent today now. I guess the stockmarket has determined that this fuckup isn’t so bad.
They are in trouble as a company. I bet the big market leaders are going to reevaluate and potentially move to something else
