CrowdStrike Update Crashes Windows Systems
A widespread outage affecting numerous Windows systems worldwide, both servers and workstations, is attributed to a flawed update of drivers associated with CrowdStrike EDR solutions. The affected systems display the 'blue screen of death' and struggle to boot correctly. To resolve the issue, it is necessary to delete the affected driver (csagent.sys or C-00000291*.sys) using Safe Mode. However, many corporate users lack the required access rights to perform this action, meaning that corporate administrators may need to intervene manually at a company-wide level.
Reportedly, the affected systems include many critical infrastructure computers, including airports and airlines.

Impact of today's major DDOS attack on Belnet (Belgian government and research institutions) was limited. While it is hard to prepare for all attacks, this is a gentle warning to invest more in cybersecurity. https://t.co/EYIeN5nHN3
