Any impact to FamilySearch or LDS Church - by recent Crowd Strike outage?

Yes, several temples have lost or limited access to TIS. FamilySearch seems to be unaffected at least currently.

I believe FS uses a different security vendor. (It also starts with C. Cloudflare, maybe?)

Three of our computers in the stake FamilySearch center were hit by it. It probably only affected centers that were open on Friday (or leave their machines on).

Re Searching

According to one TV news tickertape "3 million computers were affected" . I suspect that should have read 3 million companies.

I would say 3 million computers is about right - why do you think its companies?
some quotes now on line say about 8 million?
Not all microsoft computers would have been impacted.
