Global IT Outtage-Microsoft/CrowdStrike

Yeah, I'm sitting here waiting to get an MRI. Not sure it's going to happen today. 😡
 
Wife is in "whales vagina" flying home in 1hr. Said her plane is still on time and airport seemed normal.
 
Been in the hospital with family members on and off the last couple days. Total shit show this morning with all computer systems down and all logs currently being done by hand. They brought every room a breakfast plate since all the food ordering systems are down. And these are just what has been shared with us.
 
Only issue I’ve run into is power company’s payment portal was down. It just got resolved.
 
The company I work for has factories world wide. From what im hearing they are all at a standstill this morning.
 
I’m glad we have a hold on all updates for 48 hours up to 2weeks for non essential stuff.

Emergency updates tend to be the worst coded ones.
 
Sitting at the airport. Delays, canceled, people.

Guess it's shit posting on here today, until they get the plane ready
 
Sent me home early, company invested heavy with MS Cloud services.....
Bit them in the ass twice.
 
Ohhhf. Pack up boys, you're headed home today. Never a fun to watch another race crew pack in early.

Uncle was admitted to the hospital last night for congestive heart failure, still waiting for a room, hasn't received any meds or food because of this outage. WTF

Sorry to hear that. It's been tough on the hospital staff and patients here as well.
 
No problems here I can blame on it. Unfortunately

This isn't really related to Microsoft at all. This is 100% a CrowdStrike EDR fuck up. They sent a channel file out that was full of Null. This is essentially a small driver file that is loaded at the kernel level of the OS, BEFORE everything, including the network stack. The kernel attempts to load the null driver and to protect itself, it blue screens, as it is designed to do.

The primary issue here is that this happens before the network stack is loaded, so there is no way to send an updated channel file before the BSOD hence the fix HAS to be manual intervention. The reboots thing may or may not work. I've heard reports of people rebooting 20+ and still nothing. The issue is also more complicated if a whole disk encryption is used like BitLocker.

I don't envy IT right now. :beer: And for the first time I am glad we use Trellix for EDR and not CrowdStrike :laughing::flipoff2:
