Anyone else go into no network this morning?
Bit of a handling, looks to be worldwide. Flights grounded, banks affected etc

This seems a big thing.

All banks in Australia and NZ are down apparently.

So far so good with us today.. I certainly don't want to go back when it happened to us, was a complete pain in the hole

This is one of the worst internet outages I have seen. I know a few in that company and I would say it's not fun in there this morning

Dunno how it has been so far reaching - be interested to see the analysis of how it caused such havoc.

As someone in IT support - It's been hell so far, Crowdstrike/Microsoft going to have big compensation claims against them

It's a disaster.

Wonder what defines who is affected? We are windows-heavy here but all global systems OK so far.

Very strange how only some companies are impacted indeed

If you don't use Croudstrike then none of this is relevant to you.

It is a clusterfuk, machines have to be manually rebooted into safe mode to get them going again and that would be a slow process.

Did I read Windows 10 only affected?

imtommygunn · July 19, 2024, 11:25:28 AM

That is what I read too.

It's the start if the alien invasion

There was many a great windows outage during the troubles

Glaziers couldn't get a minute to themselves

Didn't the X-Files predict that this would happen with Banks going offline on a Friday and the chaos that would ensue?
