Yep this is mega Y2k level event, Good Morning America!

Here in Aus everything is fucked, banking and airports down. Friday night in Sydney which is basically a cashless city, even the casino has shut. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/...tage/tiss839u5

Early fixes offered was to disable/delete crowdstrike which is going to cause as shit load of security issues.

official fix is now:

Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment

Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory

Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.

Boot the host normally.

Some companies have thousands of users affected all needing manual fixes.. at present. Computers wont boot BSOD

"The worst is yet to come, it's still early morning / night in America. In the coming hours, millions of computers are doomed to bsod by unsuspecting users just starting up their machines..." This is by far the biggest IT disaster ever.
