Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world
abc.net.au
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...

IPMI is not AMT. AMT/vPro is closed protocol, right? Also people are disabling AMT, because of listed risks, which is too bad; but it's easier than properly firewalling it.
Better to just say "it lets you bring up the console remotely without windows running, so machines can be fixed by people who don't have to come into the office".
Ah, you’re right. A poor turn of phrase.
I meant to say that intel brands their IPMI tools as AMT or vPro. (And completely sidestepped mentioning the numerous issues with AMT, because, well, that’s probably a novel at this point.)
