The World Almost Ended... Thanks to a Typo?
Imagine hospitals shutting down, airports grounded, and your local burger joint locked tight - all because of a single mistake in a security update.
This is the (almost) dystopian reality we faced with a recent Crowdstrike update gone wrong. Their Falcon security tool, deeply integrated with Windows, went haywire, causing global chaos.
But the fix? Reboot, generate a key, delete a file... easy, right? WRONG. This incident raises a chilling question: Should one company have so much control over critical systems?
