It's bizarre reading all the headlines about companies offline, flights canceled, banks not working because of a piece of antivirus software in 2024.
Mostly because I lived through Y2K and every fear about Y2K just materialised but because of Crowdstrike instead.
I can't imagine the amount of wasted work this will create, not only the lost of operations across many industries but recovery will be absolute hell with Bitlocker. How many corporate users have access to their encryption keys? And when stored centrally, how many of the servers have Crowdstrike running and just got stuck in a boot loop now?
I don't envy the next days/weeks for Windows IT admins of the world...
