George Kurtz, the CEO of CrowdStrike, recently shared on LinkedIn that PCs with the Falcon Sensor installed are now back online at a rate of 97% (compared to before the update). CrowdStrike has not disclosed the exact number of affected PCs, but based on Microsoft’s estimated figure of 8.5 million devices, there are still approximately 255,000 PCs offline due to lingering blue screen issues.
Earlier, CrowdStrike released a preliminary investigation report indicating that the issue was caused by a bug in the testing system, allowing code with bugs to bypass the defenses.
