how’s everybody in IT doing today? 😬 hanging in there?

@Annie My team’s good but we feel bad for everyone at CrowdStrike. 😳

@Annie only my toes still exist in the IT world. what’s happening out there?

@Annie 🤨😒

@aa, there was an update at a security software provider that went wrong and took a whole lot of (windows) infrastructure with it. I’m also fine — I’m on holiday ;-). Ok I did check our system quickly this afternoon.

@V_ ah, exciting! enjoy your holiday!

@gregmoore why feel bad, shouldn’t they have better tested software update?

@z428 they certainly have my sympathy. sounds like a mess to fix too.

@gregmoore oh, same. didn’t affect us thankfully but what a tough one.

@aa Yep, what @V_ said. I’m not IT but I do a lot of supporting content. our devs were talking about it a lot today

@numericcitizen I like your write-up. many repercussions, indeed

@Annie Makes me happy I didn’t get a call back on a day like today.

@Annie Made me glad I have now retired from a 100% Microsoft organisation (our regional hospital network), which had been affected in some places. Feeling sorry for the IT teams I used to work with, who are having to sort out a mess they didn’t create!
