I would honestly think freezing airports, hospitals and other services for days would cause a lot of legal trouble.
At least that’s what would happen if an experienced hacker did the same thing.

Interesting - I wasn’t aware of that. Gave me a few minutes of interesting googling, thanks.
Looks like some people don’t agree that is an excuse.
Also worth remembering is that Crowdstrike stopped RHEL 9 machines booting in a vaguely similar update to their falcon service a few months earlier, so it’s not something that is exclusive to Windows. That also needed manual intervention to get vms booting. (I dealt with that one too - but it’s easier to roll back to the previous kernel with Linux and we had fewer machines that were running falcon) Not surprisingly, there was a very similar blame game played them.
I heard the argument on the link you shared before but I can’t figure out what “appropriate controls” would look like. That too sounds quite hand-wavy.
