Sitting in our work slack feeling pretty smug that I forced the migration to only Linux servers and Linux or macOS work computers now.



I dont understand? Linux servers dont need endpoint protection?

I venture the vast majority of servers with crowdstrike are linux


I'm assuming Linux implementation is different and the bug is not present there.


Yes. CrowdStrike for Linux has had bugs in the past, though. This time the Windows version is affected.


> endpoint protection

That's a polite way to say malware


The bug only affects Windows machines


Until the VPN is affected by the Domain Controller that is on Windows.


100% nix based here so thankfully zero systems affected. Everything from routers to devices, we have a total blanket ban on any Windows based software.
