Can't believe channel seven now has continual coverage about this supposed IT outage now, page-22

    CrowdStrike issued a fairly boring virus file update. Common as process. The file caused an issue while updating, bang - bluescreen of death followed by repeated reboots.

    Annoying on a company laptop, but disastrous on a Windows server that runs the system for say... an Airline login system for 9,000 terminals.

    Or Coles,

    etc.

    Now the fix has been released, but every machine is in a boot loop.

    So they need someone to manually interupt, boot into safe mode, delete an offending file (and that may require entering a Bitlocker key that is as long as your arm) and then.. waiting.
