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

[DaZZa]

Crowdstrike pushed a bad update which sends windows machine into a BSOD
loop

So far, the only way of fixing it is to manually boot *every* effected
machine into safe mode and delete the offending file.

It's broken banks, airports, TV playout systems, ServiceNSW was completely
unable to service anything - and it's world wide *anywhere* Crowdstrike is
used on windows - servers or workstations.

It's going to be an ugly weekend for any org who uses it!
