There are reports of IT outages affecting major institutions in Australia and internationally.
All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It’s all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.
Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.
Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We’ll see if that changes over the weekend…

CrowdStrike: It’s Friday, let’s throw it over the wall to production. See you all on Monday!
They did it on Thursday. All of SFO was BSODed for me when I got off a plane at SFO Thursday night.
