Industry breach restoration leader releases
speedy fix for VMware and Windows in the wake of global
outages
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., July 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fenix24™, an industry-leading
cyber disaster recovery firm that is transforming the post-breach
restoration process and impact, has issued recovery scripts to
assist companies affected by the global technology outage
associated with a CrowdStrike update. The Fenix24
scripts provide rapid remediation at scale and include
solutions for computers and virtual machines already affected by
the "blue screen of death" message. The fix previously released by
CrowdStrike resolves the issue for computers not yet in the blue
screen mode. Fenix24's scripts were created for Windows and
VMware using public information and the Fenix24 team's internal
expertise.
The Windows scripts force the reboot of machines into Safe Mode
and then remove the problematic file. These Windows scripts are
executed leveraging a provided GPO. However, if the drive is
secured with Bitlocker, users will need to enter the Bitlocker key
manually and then proceed to Safe Mode. The VMware scripts leverage
a working server to detach the virtual disk, mount it, remove the
problematic file, dismount it, reattach it to the problem VM, and
then reboot it.
The scripts are free of charge and publicly available as a part
of Fenix24's mission to be Good Samaritans, providing help to the
broader community with the goal of achieving a more secure
world.
