Crowdstrike just put out steps to remediate the current outage on the end users side. They've emailed them out to every customer and partner. Go check your inboxes!
For those that don't understand what is going on there is a major outage of tons of services and businesses going on globally right now. There is a work around but it is more difficult for companies that encrypted their drives with tools like bitlocker. Some stuff won't work today and it may take a while to fix it all.
Steps are in the image attached:
Quick rewrite:
I’m the CEO of CrowdStrike. I’m devastated to see the scale of today’s outage and will be personally working on it together with our team until it’s fully fixed for every single user.
But I wanted to take a moment to come here and tell you that I am sorry. People around the world rely on us, and incidents like this can’t happen. This came from an error that ultimately is my responsibility.
Here’s what we know: [brief synopsis of what went wrong and how it wasn’t a cyberattack etc.]
Our entire team will be working all day, all night, all weekend, and however long it takes to resolve this and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
We’ll be sharing updates as often as possible, which you can find here [link].
