Live Event Windows Outage Event - Can't buy food. Can't fly to Bali...

Their main advice is restore from backup

The reboot 15 times is probably related to triggering a last known good configuration rollback as a possible quick fix now that crowdstrike aren't pushing out a brick patch

Shoulda stuck with VMware, the caterpillar engine of cloud systems

yeah the issue isn't that they're on azure and not vmware

Reckon there's a bit of bluff and bluster in the IT industry

like everything the sales and marketing are full of shit

There you go with logic again. I’d agree but I’m suspicious of SAAS and PAAS but surely they’d be running windows defender?

If Microsoft are saying ‘just’ 8 million PC affected that means it had a great hit rate in crucial application.

I saw dell alone ship 340 million pcs annually.

Maybe they meant 8 billion

And if we continue to base critical systems on windows engineering, which is lacking somewhat, granted it’s the most probed system by hackers, ffs use physical pcs with os independent remote control access.

Or if virtual, run one up for use, then discard it after. Make Devops work for good

CrowdStrike is aimed at large enterprise AFAIK so probably not a surprise that it's taken down large enterprise systems is it?

Hey has anyone else found that since this incident, all the options in the BigFooty post editor in mobile phone browsers (which is how I'm sending this right now) are all greyed out? Like, I can't put any text in bold etc, or add a bullet point list, or add a gif for example.

This happened at about the same time as the Crowdstrike incident, so I simply assumed the two were somehow related, but now it's been a couple of weeks I'm starting to wonder if it's something I did by mistake, and if so, how do I fix it!?
