This morning at 0415am I started getting notifications that the WORLD was melting down. Hmmmm...too bad...too bad y'all put your "eggs" all in one basket...don'tcha' think?
Most people never see "Falcon" software on their computers, nor should they. BUT, for those who run this application, it is central to a Windows PC to booting up. Thus...it cannot be fixed from the inside...it requires a human "touch" for EVERY PC.
Why? Well, because CrowdStrike is IN the middle of your OS booting up, and when it gets corrupted...well... you're screwed.
SO...Yeah...they found the problem, and NO....it's NOT a virus...BUT...if your company runs this secretive software, then you are CRIPPLED...until some physical person touches YOUR computer and installs the "fix" This is NOT easy. It involves every PC, every machine running windows. Why? Because a "restrart" doesn't fix the problem..it requires "SNEAKER-NET"...which is where we ALL started.
Think about this for a moment. I beg you.
