CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.

Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.

Incredible work.

    There were no test rings for this one and it wasn’t a user controlled update. It was pushed by CS in a way that couldn’t be intercepted/tested/vetted by the consumer unless your device either doesn’t have CS installed or isn’t on an external network… or I suppose you could block CS connections at the firewall. 🤷‍♂️
