Happening: corporate greed implosion

tl;dr: monitoring software used only in large corporate businesses to monitor workers either got hacked, or borked, to make the target systems unusable.
Lots of happenings going around, this one is justly deserved as near as I can tell.
>...due to a problem with CrowdStrike software. Payment systems, airlines, hospitals, governments, TV stations – pretty much anything or anyone using computers could be dealing with bluescreens, bootloops, and similar issues today. Open-heart surgeries had to be stopped mid-surgery, planes can’t take off, people can’t board trains, shoppers can pay for their groceries, and much, much more, all over the world.
>The problem is caused by CrowdStrike, a sort-of enterprise AV/monitoring software that uses a Windows NT kernel driver to monitor everything people do on corporate machines and logs it for… Security purposes, I guess? I’ve never worked in a corporate setting so I have no experience with software like this. From what I hear, software like this is deeply loathed by workers the world over, as it gets in the way and slows systems down. And, as can happen with a kernel driver, a bug can cause massive worldwide outages which is costing people billions in damages and may even have killed people.

My local backwater town bubba public employment consultation office couldn't connect to the provincial hubs because they were taken offline. Just because no nukes were launched doesn't mean no jimmies are being jostled. Every time something like this happens, no matter the immediate consequences, the entire security industry gets turned inside out. It could very well be the tumbling pebble that starts an avalanche.
On the other hand, some nips found that you can just delete some innocuous log file in your local CrowdStrike System32 directory. It effectively rolls back the changes and immunizes that system.
