All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It’s all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.
Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.
Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We’ll see if that changes over the weekend…
I don’t know many individual users that use IPMI. I only really see it used by hosting (and other) companies in data centers.
IPMI is usually locked down and only accessible on a management VLAN, and also often IP locked, plus the system itself would have a password.
