This video explains what happens when you let an influencer explain a simple channel file being broken. What does "Windows devices that run on the Falcon platfrom" even mean? Falcon is not a platform. Windows is, so is x86, but not falcon. Falcon is a service which runs on a platform. Unverified sources say the driver at boot tried to parse the broken channel file and dereference a pointer from it even tho the file is invalid and should fail basic checks. Not to mention the file wasn't even signed which would have prevented it from loading in the first place

This is something that is already known. What is interesting now is what would be the consequence for the Crowdstrike. Are they going to cover everything financially?

There was 1 line of code that was corrupt so people had to manually delete that line, that’s why it took so long. Hope this helps
