Does any one here, working in IT, have a sense for how "on-going" this issue is expected to be? Is this something that is largely going to be resolved in a day or two, or is this going to take weeks/ months?
My guess as a Linux admin in IT.
I understand the fix takes ~5 minutes per system, must be done in person, and cannot be farmed out to users.
There are likely conversations about alternatives or mitigations to/for crowdstrike.
Most things were likely fixed yesterday. (Depending on staffing levels.) Complications could go on for a week. Fallout of various sorts for a month.
Lawsuits, disaster planning, cyberattacks (targeting crowdstrike companies and those that hastily stopped using it) will go on for months and years.
The next crowdstrike mistake could happen at any time...
Sounds like the tagline to an action movie.
Coming in a computer near you: Crowdstrikenado!
