If it's true that a bad patch was the reason for this I assume someone, or multiple people, will have a really bad day today. Makes me wonder what kind of testing they have in place for patches like this, normally I wouldn't expect something to go out immediately to all clients but rather a gradual rollout. But who knows, Microsoft keeps their master keys on a USB stick while selling cloud HSM so maybe Crowdstrike just yolos their critical software updates as well while selling security software to the world.
