I heard that CloudStrike is something that runs on Windows servers, and an error with it caused a bunch of Win Servers to crash. What’s the impact of the issue too?

I’m not a tech person, tho I do use Linux desktop, btw 😉

    Crowd strike is an antivirus program that is installed on servers and laptops/desktops. The update corrupted a file that caused the operating system not to boot. The impact is thousands of hours of manual labor to recover these servers and endpoints. You have to do it in person unless your user is tech savvy enough to get into safe mode and delete a file. And you need admin rights
