At this juncture I'd like to humbly suggest that between this incident and the similar 2010 cockup he presided over as CTO of McAfee (botched defs that caused it to delete Windows XP svchost.exe), that Mr George Kurtz should strongly consider divesting himself of CrowdStrike and refraining from any further involvement with EDR (or similar) vendors in future, for the good of the industry, and the world at large ;)
That's way too much credit to give to a CTO!
https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/19/24201717/windows-bsod-crowdstrike-outage-issue Crowdstrike pushed a bad update which sends windows machine into a BSOD loop So far, the only way of fixing it is to manually boot *every* effected machine into safe mode and delete the offending file. It's broken banks, airports, TV playout systems, ServiceNSW was completely unable to service anything - and it's world wide *anywhere* Crowdstrike is used on windows - servers or workstations. It's going to be an ugly weekend for any org who uses it! D
