Happy Blue Friday everyone :/

Walking through the office this morning, so many blue screens, I had to use a restore point for my work PC.

Rumors are now that this was not a MS snafu but a "cyber warfare" group of hackers who caused this. We will know more later as this is investigated I'm sure.

The generally agreed upon culprit as of writing seems to be Crowdstrike. Bit of a duff update.

Oh, interesting and I find this to be more believable than the "cyber warfare" group theory.

By the way, it is now confirmed that this was a bad update from Crowdstrike and NOT from Microsoft.
