What's the criteria for a Windows machine to be affected? I use Windows but haven't had any issues today.
This is specifically caused by an update for CrowdStrike's Falcon antivirus software, which is designed for large organizations. This won't affect personal computers unless they've specifically chosen to install Falcon.
be a windows based machine protected by crowdstrike as a security service, and received said botched update
Um, about that...
i means cops exist to protect and serve, whether they actually do that is a different story
Supreme Court says otherwise. It's just a slogan, not an actual mission statement

"This is a nice little server you've got here. Be a shame if something happened to it."
You need to be a Crowdstike customer
