I’m impacted by the Crowdstrike issue. Got an email from my IT department that said “…try rebooting three times. If that does not work, stand by for additional guidance when made available from Crowdstrike”

That was 7 hours ago, so I’m working from my phone.

Quote today from an IT guy:

I don't think you guys fully grasp how big this is.Around a billion computers are bricked worldwide, mostly corporate ones. This isn't just an online service going down for a few hours. Every affected computer needs to be rebooted in fail mode and have a driver manually removed. Most corporate computers given to employees don't let users do this themselves. Even if they could, imagine every single double-digit IQ wagie trying to handle a moderately complex task when many don't even know what a file is anymore.I can't stress enough the scale of this happening.
