People have been talking about how this is a CrowdStrike issue, and such on Reddit, etc. But in my opinion, it's appalling that Windows can allow this to happen

- vesinisa 2y agoCrowdStrike installs as an operating system driver. It becomes essentially a part of the operating system and can do literally anything it wants, and Microsoft can not do much anything about it. Going forward, I could foresee Microsoft requiring endpoint protection solution providers certify their QA processes to get signing. But staged rollouts and canary builds have already been an industry standard process long before CrowdStrike. There was no way Microsoft could have known that they were dealing with a company so incompetent as CrowdStrike to cause this to happen.
