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…

    The other commenter on this pointed out that I should have said crisis management rather than disaster recovery, and they’re right - and so were you, but I wasn’t thinking about that this morning.

      Nah, it’s fair enough. I’m not trying to start an argument about any of this. But ya gotta talk in terms that the insurance people talk in (because that’s what your c-suite understand it in). If you say DR… and didn’t actually DR… That can cause some auditing problems later. I unfortunately (or fortunately… I dunno) hold the C-suite position in a few companies. DR is a nasty word. Just like “security incident” is a VERY nasty phrase.
