    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

      The article rn is all over the place alternating between saying the fix will take a long time to come and saying the fix already has been deployed, lol

        Not all that confusing. The fix is deployed so it won’t affect any more machines. The ones already affected will take a while to restore.
