Was anybody here affected by the CrowdStrike Thing?
My nephew's wife flew to Europe that day without incident.
Not here. But then, I don't do that much on the Web. And I use Windows
10's security, which was not affected.
I saw an article where Microsoft was blaming the EU for forcing them
to allow 3rd-party access to the Kernal, which they claim is what
enabled the update to do bad things. If that is true, they may have a
point.
“Microsoft wants to make future CrowdStrike outages impossible, and it could mean big changes for security software:
https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/microsoft-wants-to-make-future-crowdstrike-outages-impossible-and-it-could-mean-big-changes-for-security-software“Microsoft appears to want to shift away from security software having kernel access on Windows 11, though the company hasn’t said that outright.”
Sounds like a good idea. And fix all of the other kernel holes while they are at it.
