According to what I just read the whole mess was created by a combination of faults at crowdstrike, one of them ignoring the update policies of their clients and rolling an update onto all machines even if a customer's policy did expressively excluded an update with the newest version.

But what baffles me the most is that apparently said update brought windows down because of a NULL pointer exception in a kernel driver that was not handled.

Here are so many former or still privately active programmers. Would that have happened to us old guys? Super-important code without proper error handling? I don't think so. Sometimes "In former times all was better" is not completely wrong 🤣
