Nationwide computer outage

[nzoomed]

Amazing how widespread it is - just one innocuous third party application taking down all these critical systems

I'm unsure how many home users will be affected,  but seems to be more with the crowdstrike product called falcon.
I've personally never encountered it, bit it's possible it's bundled with other software unbeknown to the user.

Anyway here is a good meme doing the rounds.
