CrowdStrike released a buggy update that crashed (BSOD) nearly 8.5 million systems, worse than any ransomware, causing the largest IT outage in history, impacting airports, emergency services, and countless organizations. This video explores the incident and presents my perspective.

If you are affected by the issue, go to safe mode cmd and use: del /"C://Windows//System32//drivers//CrowdStrike//C-00000291*.sys/" to fix the issue.
