Not badly made at all. Just adding to it.
Your post made me think what a nightmare it would be if you had to explain tech instructions to everyone on NSC

My Grandson always says when my phone losses WiFi in the car” Too many trees , Grandad”
If they chop down some more rainforest, that might solve the problem.

“Whats that? Servers are working? You sure, I’m still having problems here.”
Sit back at watch first half hour of cricket at least before “attempting” to connect again.

- A major IT problem is disrupting transport, healthcare, businesses, and other sectors across the world
- Cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike blames an issues with one of its updates for Windows - it says the problem has been "identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed"
- Crowdstrike's shares are down by more than 20% in unofficial trading in the US - equal to a $16bn loss in value
- Worldwide, more than 1,000 flights have been cancelled - but American Airlines says flights are resuming again
- In the UK, NHS England says most GP practices are affected - but there is no known impact on emergency services
- There are also some delays on the trains - but one operator says it is "actually an improvement to normal"

This was always 'when' not 'if'.
Most servers these days are VM images so scaremongering that 10,000s of servers need a keyboard plugged in is typical media hyperbole, the VM hosts maybe. What will be taking the time is getting root access where required and testing roll back. Lots of big companies will be learning that hardly anyone really knows their major DR event processes.

depends if the VMs have the endpoint security installed. think this incident is going to show a lot of corporate security policy demands such things, even if it makes little sense to sysadmins.

Just been to Sainsburys and all was well.
Someone has mentioned on this thread that Waitrose is cash only.
Formula 1 first practice due to start in a few minutes. Be interesting to see how quickly they get out on trackMac admin here in peacewouldn't have known there was an issue if I didn't try log onto NSC first thing. I sent a few Slacks letting the company know there was a mass global outage and to not disturb me, told my (non technical) boss to leave me alone and have had a lovely morning sat out on the patio catching up on yesterday stage of the Tour de France and winding up my mate who works at Mercedes F1 who's been in the paddock since 5am and unable to do anything as their sponsor CrowdStrike broke their systems.
