So, I kind of know what I’m talking about. I’m a software engineer with a passion for cyber security, but I’ve never worked with cloud strike or tools like it. Cloud strike is a Microsoft network security tool that runs on local IT servers, as I understand it, to help keep them safe. Well, they pushed an update last night without user approval that fucked up some file that the entire local computer depends on, which caused blue screen loops. The only way to fix this is to go and manually boot in safe mode, and if the server is secured by bitlocker, then you have to individually look up and enter the boot key for each server. Basically, even though cloud strike fixed the problem, it’s already on all these local systems and can’t be rolled back or repaired by them; each organization affected has to go and fix it themselves. Because it’s a network dependency, it means portions or wholes of these companies’ networks are down until they can manually save boot all 5,000 of their servers or whatever.
