From the YOUTUBE segment, while the device
driver was certified, the checking routines
provided to and used by the driver were not and
one of these was what caused the issue.

Microsoft has a way to check and certify device drivers and Clownstrike

Assuming they did, then I think MS also let everyone down by failing to
flag the mad ability to run arbitrary script code from the (ring 0) driver.
To be frank, in my mind it's a 'just make it work' attitude I blame, one
that bas been prevalent ever since the first PC soiled its first nappy
(diaper), around the years that MVS+RACF had already achieved MOD (DOD?)
approval from memory.
Sure, the old-fashioned IBM way of doing things was a bit square and boring
for the go-getters, but there's the saying "If you think getting things
right is expensive, try getting them wrong!".
Someone pointed out that the CEO at Cloudstrike presided over a previous
update that broke things in a big way, when he was CEO at a different
company. Is that right? If so, it's shame that experience didn't transfer
with him.
