The cause is a malfunction of the Crowdstrike monitoring solution, which employees use to spy at anything ever done on company hardware. They do have a Linux version and it has been reported to cause kernel panics (not ~~sure if~~ during this incident).

But yes, Windows on public information displays is dumb.

it was because crowdstrike themselves notified that this specific instance did not affect their linux nor osx distributions of security, and was windows specific.
