[AusNOG] Global Outage - CrowdStrike? What's the story?

[Luke Thompson]

G'day,

Just curious about what's amiss, a few things lined up this arvo:

1. Banks advising that there is an outage impacting payments etc.

2. Telstra MVNO Support advising that they have no internet right now.

3. There is a spike of problems reported on Down Detector, now calming:

Wondering if anyone can share any insights into what's happening this 
afternoon BTS or otherwise?
