Surely unrelated but this crowdstrike outage has been insane. I can only imagine how pissed 90% of companies are with crowdstrike and Microsoft right now.

Great day to be an Apple and Google user tho lol

It's not even a hack, just one line of crap code that could now be used as a hack.

However it sounds like if your computer was off at the time, then it may be unaffected.
