Crowdstrike published a faulty update. Causes Windows to bluescreen. Driver is C-00000291*.sys. Will cause worldwide outages. Thread follows, I suspect. 🧵

I am obtaining a copy of the driver to see if malicious or bad coding, if anybody else checking let me know.

If anybody is wondering the impact of the Crowdstrike thing - it’s really bad. Machines don’t boot.

The recovery is boot in safe mode, log in as local admin and delete things - which isn’t automateable. Basically Crowdstrike will be in very hot water.

@GossiTheDog I highly doubt their reputation is going to come back any time soon.
