CrowdStrike not-hot-take 4
OK so the reason why this wasn’t even MORE of an issue than it could be is that as the faulty update has been rolled back pretty quickly, computers that were turned off during that time were unaffected and after turning on, the still-old-version of the Falcon Sensor (the software that caused the crash) would not install the faulty update.
As it was still night in USA at the time, this probably saved tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of computers from the bug.
