The internet is just a way to communicate data. The only people affected by this bug are customers of a Windows based "cybersecurity" company.
Just a little bit of a correction. Crowd strike publishes agents for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Its just the particular broken agent is for Windows. They had a 1/3 chance of taking down any one of their three client bases
The company is not Windows based, they offer clients and agents for Linux and Mac as well (and there are some scattered reports they fucked up some of their Linux customers like this last month).
The Windows version of their software is what is broken.
