Yes. Millions are having to deal with this since 12:30am this morning.

Are you having to physically intervene at each affected system? How many systems did you get fixed today? Have you been working since 12:30am?

I work in the IT dept for a Utility company, and we had over 600 computers affected by this. Been fixing machines all day.
Yes we had to touch every affected system. Some were fixed with a hard reboot, other we had to log in and remove a crowd strike file. Crowd strike sent up a patch this morning that saved a lot of work. Made it even more tedious to have to navigate Bitlocker while trying to get into the machines.

Mr. Grumpy pants.

Our mgmt software was configured to remove the affected files immediately upon coming online and checking in. Which meant for some we just had to get end users to boot into safe mode with networking, wait a few seconds and have them reboot. Sometimes easier said than done. Some we had to manually go in and purge.

Deltek was down for us until 5 pm.

Well that's fortunate. Having to manually delete that .sys file from every PC would have been an absolute nightmare.

I wrote a script that uses wmi to remove the file and then reboot the host. But, we had to get them in Safe Mode with networking first for that to work.

Yep, same here for our hosts and our script.

I’ve been out of town and haven’t fired up home laptop or desktop, is bad code pulled? Will I be ok to start them up now?

Is your laptop or home desktop connected to a Falcon sensor?
Posted on 7/20/24 at 5:34 pm to Roy Curado
I don’t know? So I’d say not, just personal home computers. I’d not heard of “Falcon” sensors until this event.

You will almost certainly be fine. CrowdStrike is a paid tool, so if you didn’t pay for it, you don’t have it. The angst is among people with company issued assets that do pay and install it. Our intranet says to contact your local office, which is either in Ohio or New Jersey. So my work laptop is a brick.
