Giving a vendor the ability to push kernel drivers to any of your machines without your control is something no IT org should agree to. I'm surprised that CMU's team (which is generally quite good!) agreed to this.

Okay, I'm just going to throw this out there, but maybe - just maybe - a vendor having the ability to change every one of their kernel drivers in the field at the same time without any approval from IT/end users is a model we need to reconsider... @CrowdStrike

I don't think you guys fully grasp how big this is. Around a billion computers are bricked worldwide, mostly corporate ones. This isn't just an online service going down for a few hours. Every affected computer needs to be rebooted in fail mode and have a driver manually…

My advisor is buying me a new laptop. I just learned that the delivery is going to be intercepted by Penn so they can “set up the machine”. I pressed, and they said they were installing spyware software called CrowdStrike.
