    This is why you do staged rollouts of updates… not the entire planet at once.

        So true, this really highlights the risk of updates impacting critical systems vs critical systems being exposed to critical vulnerabilities. Its a real balancing act.

          It actually highlights the risk of having unaudited third party software running on your critical infrastructure

        I don’t know exactly how crowd strike works, but this sounded like a “virus signatures” update (IE not a software update per se). And thats what caused the issue.

        I think “real time virus protection” is why people use it so they expect the signatures to get updated asap/with little to no human intervention.

        This is a crowd strike epic fail…for how they let their software blue screen systems with a virus signature update.

        No, you run Linux with automatic secutity updates turned on
