Can’t read the rest of the article because paywall but apparently users have chimed in saying rebooting 15 times worked for them. Whether they were serious or not remains a question.

My understanding is, it’s just a matter of if the Crowdstrike updater service manages to connect to the internet long enough to download the patch before the core service takes a shit.

Regardless, it’s been a shit show.
