Most people I know who had to fix it booted safe mode and renamed the Crowdstrike folder in the Windows directory. You could rename it to anything at all to fix it, but for some reason most of them chose an expletive. Pray for those unfortunate IT managers summoned before the Board tomorrow to explain why they had added further security by using Bitlocker encryption, but then foolishly stored the unlock keys elsewhere on the same network, or on another locked computer. "Convenience is the enemy of security". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) Ironically the Mercedes F 1 teams' computers were wiped out by a major sponsor!!! 😆 ....but at least I now know who Crowdstrike are and what they do. Edited July 21 by Kopek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most would have been completely unable to process a sale or take any payment if their systems were down. Perhaps they're not as witless as you.

You think M&S would switch to cash and pen and paper if they were off line and had no tills working? Of course they would 😂.

Non-Believer Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 What we're seeing here is clearly the Govt doctrine. "Computers are down, we can all go home". The private sector should do the same, businesses have absolutely no right to try and use their initiative to get round a period of IT adversity. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patches and upgrades are regularly pushed out for Apple devices... and anyway, you're still buggered if upstream systems you rely on are down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology not your thing then? That post that was linked is pathetic. Clearly someone who did a very poor smarthome implementation using all the cheapest stuff they could find without any real thought of keeping things simple. Technology should be about making you home more secure, more energy efficient and easier to use. That person has done it all wrong.
