If a company disguises a software update as a virus definition update, that be a huge scandal and no serious company should ever work with them again…are you sure that’s what happened?
It wasn't a virus definitions update. It was a driver update. The driver is used to identify and block threats incoming from wifi and wired internet.
The "Outage" section of the Wikipedia article goes into more detail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_CrowdStrike_incident#Outage
Ah, was a bit off. The update disregarded update controls per reddit and I must have misunderstood what exactly the channel update did. I know for the sensors you can set how closely you want to track current releases but I guess the driver update is not considered under those rules. I use CrowdStrike in my day to day but not from the administrative side, sorry for the misinformation. Thanks for the details Gestrid.
