I know there's a better word to be used here, but what initially looked like a massive cyberattack turning out to be a massive defender foot-broom is chefs kiss.
I saw it was Windows and went to bed. What a great feeling.
I'm sorry to those of you dealing with this. I've had to wipe 1200 computers over a weekend in a past life when a virus got in.
Did I receive any appreciation? Nope. I was literally sleeping under cubicle desks bringing up isolated rows one by one. I switched everything in that call center to linux after that. Ironically it turns out it was a senior engineers ssh key that got leaked somehow and was used to get in and dig around servers in our datacenter outside of my network. My filesystem logging (in Windows, coincidentally) alerted me.
