Crowdstrike has yet to release a root-cause analysis or provide details on how this bad change was released.

@reifiedbeans any new information?

Nothing concrete, but I find it very hard to believe that such an egregious error would have made it past guardrails at such a large company.

Retweeted by Crowdstrike official account too - https://x.com/CrowdStrike

"CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. ... This is not a security incident or cyberattack. The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed."

Also Director of Overwatch, Croudstrike - "There is a faulty channel file, so not quite an update." More confirmation of an internal issue.

"Crowdstrike has identified a content deployment related to this issue and reverted those changes"

Seems like a pretty clear admission that it's not malicious.
