It's crazy what's happening. Basically the endpoint security software Crowdstrike released an update that the Microsoft Kernel didn't like and is causing BSOD. It requires individual computers and servers to be restarted into safe mode, delete a config file and restart.

Affecting banks, supermarkets, airlines and even Foxtel. Share market took a huge hit

Turns out I managed to get home just in time to avoid that.  I spent a couple of days in Sydney and flew home early yesterday just before the stuff hit the fan.
