CrowdStrike is reporting that a single errant piece of content in one of their security updates may be linked to a massive Windows outage that is impacting the United States and world. Many flights are cancelled.
How to protect yourself or business? You can’t. We live in a precarious time where our lives and economies are connected to the Internet.
This morning many people are experiencing the Blue Screen of Death. Are you?
Update: This became the largest global outage in history. You don’t want your employees to have to do a fix like this in real time!
The fix:
1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or WRE.
2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike
3. Locate and delete file matching "C-00000291*.sys"
4. Boot normally.
