CrowdStrike has performed the largest ransomware attack in history.

Accidentally.

How to fix the Crowdstrike thing:

1. Boot Windows into safe mode
2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike
3. Delete C-00000291*.sys
4. Repeat for every host in your enterprise network including remote workers
5. If you're using BitLocker jump off a bridge

CrowdStrike cooked the Los Angeles International Airport

Even non-nerds freaking out – they think it's some massive 1337 hack (it's just bad coding).

CrowdStrike cooked SkyNews. They're trying to do the news with no computers.

CrowdStrike cooked airports in India. They're issuing handwritten boarding passes

We apologize to the many people who follow us online.

Instead of doing our regular malware sample family updates and pushing new papers, we're going to meme this CrowdStrike thing until we develop arthritis.

Stock exchange opened. It appears CrowdStrike share holders are relatively concerned.

In all seriousness, we offer our most sincere condolences to our friends and colleagues who work at CrowdStrike.

We're sorry we're memeing so hard — but the situation is so unbelievably bad it's borderline satire.

We thought like, maybe a big ransomware incident, or a data leak.

We didn't expect arguably one of the largest IT outages in history caused by arguably one of the largest cybersecurity companies in history.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
