My workplace has a number of people reporting Windows blue-screening and going into a boot loop. The IT Department have a number of servers recently gone offline and have said there's a chance that the two issues are related, and potentially due to a Crowd Strike application update. My laptop blue-screened and rebooted, but is working fine after the reboot. A local radio station has also said they've got the same issues with their laptops and their phone system is down as a result. Not seeing anything on news sites yet. Anyone else seeing similar? Above is all based in Australia.
