> Crowdstrike does have Mac/Linux "endpoints" also (IIRC) but I'm unsure if they're affected as well.

The problem seems to be in a device driver installed by Crowdstrike - so I'm guessing whatever the bug is, it's specific. to their Windows product.




Windows complains about some page fault or something in a file name csagent.sys. On my machine this file hasn't changed in several days, but the issue only happened this morning like for everyone else.

This looks suspiciosly a case of "let's download random crap from the web and run it in kernel space. what could possibly go wrong?"
