I wonder how long before crowdstrike will find it appropriate to raise their prices again 😝
I'm going to be blunt here... but you're making things worse... Let the Tech team deal with the issue and stop posting 'helpful fixes'.... You're encouraging people to listen to sources they shouldn't.... Which helps the scammers....
This one is getting interesting and challenging. It seems so many different ways suggested for different environment/setup which needs admin permission to recover keys and restore to previous good configuration. And don’t forget some of these actual need to circumvent/ adjust privilege management system which again customers’ task/responsibility. I feel for people who are up for this task as even rebooting in safe mode easily take 5/10 mins and on top you have all these other steps you need to deliver to perfection. Interesting to see how long the complete recovery will take.🤔
Was it due to pressure to deploy updates quickly? Or the complexity and oversight? Even with multiple levels of testing, certain issues may still creep through once the update is deployed in a live environment. This can happen! The truth, however, is that the lack of a phased rollout practice is just inexcusable. These updates should have been deployed to a small group of systems initially, which would have helped identify and address issues before a full-scale deployment. The absence of such a strategy, in my opinion, is a result of a she'll be right attitude.
Microsoft must be asking themselves “why did we let a vendor add a kernel mode driver to our OS?” Microsoft must take responsibility for everything in the Windows directory (again). Just like with WindowsNT.
Plenty of people are asking themselves “I don’t know what a BitLocker recovery key is or where to find it”.
ACSC took a lot of time to alert users, first comms was done on Saturday. Some one needs to look into it.
At least you can always pay for your goods with cash

3moI will call it for what it is how did the company get to release a patch without doing the due diligence and then act like it's no big deal after shutting down the world and disrupting lives and then turning around and say we have a fix. Someone has to be held to account for this incident
