Crowdstrike Oops

2024-07-26 by: Mike Harrison
From: Mike Harrison 
------------------------------------------------------


Apparently Crowdstrike released an update to a security product that is 
causing BSOD's everywhere in Corporate Microsoft user land, expect some 
major b0rk3n stuff for a few days. Big hugs to all the people out there 
that must put hands on (or at least console via KVM) to fix things.

And it looks like so far authorize.net and a couple of other things I 
need for work are working.. so far. Even if you are a Linux shop, check 
your stuff.  I'm seeing reports of various upstream vendors being 
offline or very limited.

This might explain some of the weirdness we saw in the VoIP world 
yesterday.

So far, we haven't seen any issues. We're a 50/50 Linux/Windows shop with a= couple hundred devices. So far everything is running smoothly. O365 and a = few other online services have yet to show up on our helpdesk so here's hop= ing it stays this way! -Michael [https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/mail-sig/AIorK4wNMWFWy3K1gbf2_LjDF_S1447= 8ZqvXn0wVLQsHRDkm9QDTGSEc03BsH439LTFjR9ieBMrExpVkvN9I] KQ4SUB ________________________________ From: Mike Harrison Sent: Friday, July 19, 2024 8:35 AM To: michael@tnscholten.org Subject: [chugalug] Crowdstrike Oops Apparently Crowdstrike released an update to a security product that is causing BSOD's everywhere in Corporate Microsoft user land, expect some major b0rk3n stuff for a few days.
