Early reports suggest that cyber security firm CrowdStrike may be to blame by pushing out a security update for its product that features a bug.

I hate Windows as much as the next Lemmy user but it takes 8 paragraphs before this gets clarified.

Article must be old too

Crowdstrike already rolled out an update, it’s just everything that’s already BSOD is going to take a while to be manually rolled back

An additional problem is bitlocked devices that can’t get access to their own disc to fix the problem. And in some cases, the key servers are even down as well. It’s a huge mess.

Definitely not what you want to hear as an IT worker on a Friday.

At least it being Friday will be a blessing in some cases since it means for some sectors that IT will have the weekend to fix it during non-business hours.

Long weekend ahead, that’s for sure

CrowdStrike

Ah yes. Very familiar with their software. From time to a time an update or version would wreak havoc on your Kubernetes cluster or at the very least degrade performance.

IT threw it on our laptops and on occasion I’d have to kill the process.

This comes as no surprise to anyone who’s worked with their security software.

The irony of this whole situation is astounding.

Which is why there’s gotta be a better way to monitor and secure than installing 3rd party root level software on systems.

There is a great analogy to gun ownership in here.

How?

An estimated 37 percent of gunshot injuries in the U.S. are the result of accidental shootings. thetrace.org/…/accidental-shootings-cdc-data-chil…

Thing that is supposed to protect people from bad circumstance causes bad circumstance.

That’s a much better analogy than I was expecting. Well said.

Crowdstrike, it’s the hip new ransomware.

You cannot hack a server that’s down. Security first!
