How many people is this affecting?
Both articles just say “it’s bad, so bad”
Falcon Sensor is one of the most popular security products in Windows servers. Practically every large company purchases Crowdstrike services to protect their servers.
People who aren’t affected:
- Linux and Mac servers
- Private individuals and smaller businesess who have Windows machines that don’t buy CrowdStrike services.
- Companies that bothered to create proper test environments for their production servers.
People who are affected:
Companies that use Windows machines, buy Falcon Sensor from Crowdstrike, and are too stupid/cheap to have proper update policies.
In terms of numbers, we don’t know how many people are affected or how much it will cost. A lot. Globally. Flights were grounded, surgeries rescheduled, bank transfers and payments interrupted, and millions of employees couldn’t turn on their computers this morning.
proper test envs
Nah, let’s direct ship anything any vendor sends us.

Thank you very much
Does anyone know how these Cloudstrike updates are actually deployed? Presumably the software has its own update mechanism to react to emergent threats without waiting for patch tuesday. Can users control the update policy for these ‘channel files’ themselves?
Check out https://downdetector.com. It’s disrupting big business.
Is it saying each service had a few hundred complaints and then leveled out?
One of them had 7k.
But that isn’t only tracking this bsod thing right?
Correct, this is overall/all incidents.

Keep installing these compulsory updates which your overlords let you postpone but not to decline. Good sheep.
