Thousands of Windows machines are experiencing a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issue at boot today, impacting banks, airlines, TV broadcasters, supermarkets, and many more businesses worldwide.

A faulty update from cybersecurity provider CrowdStrike is knocking affected PCs and servers offline, forcing them into a recovery boot loop so machines can’t start properly.

CrowdStrike is widely used by many businesses worldwide for managing the security of Windows PCs and servers.

This is the same outfit that said the DNC and Hillary were hacked by the Russians.

Now the post office is blaming the outage on its inability to deliver my packages.  Tracking shows they were delivered to the local post office, but they can't be checked in and delivered.
