  Rapid Content Update file (detection signatures) are tested on the cloud side "Content Validator" which had a bug and didn't detect the issue with the faulty file. No where in the post mortem to CrowdStrike mention that these files are actually being tested on a real machine where the issue would have been detected. On top of that, they blame they software bug in the Content Validator.
