This is the easiest major work disaster I've had in my career
Fixing servers is more difficult than fixing workstations, but my team beat this thing fast.
We're a huge company that with an enormous IT infrastructure that accesses sensitive info for hundreds of high profile clients that all of us have heard of. That makes us a huge target for the bad guys.
Because we're such an attractive target, we've become very good at working through bad events.

Ironically, one of our best tools to keep us safe nailed us, but some aspects of the recovery were similar.

We have thousands of servers and we're nearly entirely back to normal after only about 9 hours.

I doubt any of our clients will even notice our minor blip. Redundancy swallowed most of it
