This was kinda the opposite; computers that were offline were fine. Computers that were online last night caught the bad update. This affected everything, regardless if it was on prem or not.

Yeah, when I posted this, it was a theory. The full story didnt come out yet.. But further throughout the day, I understood what really happened. Crazy.

I agree with the tech M&A part. I cringle every time I see HP, IBM or Cisco buy a company.

We acquired a total of two companies it would have been 3 but after heavy vetting we decide merges in tech field was a big no no.
