That's not entirely wrong. Microsoft did bless this software as permitted the privileges to do whatever to the entire system. They're in turn blaming this on EU, but EU only mandated they provide access to security software at the same level their own has; it's Microsoft's choice to make that this risky. Then there's the trust placed in Crowdstrike; they're likely selected for being a known name, never mind they ran a previous company into the ground in this particular manner. It's like the hotel manager decided to install an entry counter in their front door and nobody asked why it's also a guillotine.

Parts of the rumour mill say no; the file shouldn't have loaded if it was only 0, and mostly 0 is normal. Crowdstrike have indicated they pushed incorrect code, not merely corrupt, but the fact remains their architecture creates the opportunity for this level of fault.

@alazarbisrat1978 What makes this remarkable is that the entire purpose of this product and company is to address that QA neglect. They've demonstrated they're among the worst at the one thing they're claiming to do better.

@alazarbisrat1978 You're misreading my comment. I said this particular neglect is remarkable because the specific purpose of their product is to address that kind of neglect. This is a safety net that self-ignited on top of being made from tissue paper. That there's a whole industry out there that refuses to consider fabric because tissue paper is cheaper doesn't really help their case.
