A number of people in my team have had their PCs going to Blue Screen - unrecoverable. Not sure if it is relatated

We’ve just been told to not reset our computers due to this

I'd steer clear of Matt Le Tissier's social media accounts for a while!

BBC News have located a suitable IT uber nerd to talk about Cloudstrike. Loving it.

Hospitals, banks, media, airlines hit by major IT outage

Cyber-security firm Crowdstrike said its update had caused the problem on computers running Windows.

What I gather from this is that infrastructure and communication in Australia is built on Microsoft Office products. That's certainly one way to build society...

Azure not office

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

BBC are loving this.

This is good advice in any situation TBH

Got to work after queuing to pay with CASH in Waitrose, as al the banking systems are down.

Got to work. Laptop demanded FOUR complete reboots - right down to entering the bitlocker. Then Windows ran some kind of update. Finally 'in'.

Outlook and internet up and running, but no access to any of the servers / files, and no skype (which here means no phone calls).

Quiet morning in store. Sky Sports Cricket had best not be affected...

We wouldn't want you back anyway.

IT engineer: 'My wife's birthday, she's going to go nuts if I'm not home early. Just send this update for me. Here's the number to put in- 884381618'
Office Junior 'No problem'
IT engineer: 'Best write it down'
Office Junior 'No, I've remembered it...'
