Can’t get hacked if your machine isn’t running.

You’re hired!

Idk boss, people weren’t too happy the last time we tried that.

Funny how CrowdStrike already sounds like some malware’s name.

dmention7 ,

It literally sounds like a DDoS!

Botnet if you will

SkyNTP ,

Not too surprising if the people making malware, and the people making the security software are basically the same people, just with slightly different business models.

Classic protection racket. “Those are some nice files you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if anything happened to them…”

Reminds me of the tyre store that spreads tacks on the road 100m away from their store in the oncoming lanes.

People get a flat, and oh what do you know! A tyre store! What a lucky coincidence.

JackbyDev ,

It sounds like the name of a political protest group.

some_guy , in Big brain with Crowdstrike

I work in IT. We don’t run CS here, but a bunch of clients of my old employer do. I had just shitposted about this fiasco in a discord server populated with fellow techs from that company, fired up lemmy, and this was the first post. What a fucking banger! I immediately shitposted again pasting this image. You’ve made my day. I need to stop using the internet because it’s all downhill from here. Thank you.

muffedtrims OP ,

Fun story, my company just kicked off a PoC with crowdstrike 2 days ago. So far my computer was the only one that the agent was on as we had other work that needed to be done and we paused the rollout to the rest of my team. I woke up to boot loop hell today. Got it fixed right away, but so glad we didn’t roll it out any further. Not a good look to be starting a PoC with.

Sophos endpoint for years. We had an issue like this when we installed their software on one of Microsoft surface that use MS CPU we bricked every one of them. Kept Sophos and got rid of all the surfaces with Microsoft CPU.

jemikwa ,

If it’s any consolation, this is the first issue of its kind in the multiple years we’ve been using CS. Still unacceptable, but historically the program has been stable and effective for us. Hopefully this reminds higher ups the importance of proper testing before releases

muffedtrims OP ,

For sure, my previous company I left last August ran CS for 3 years and we had no issues. Hopefully they hire a bunch of QA folks that were probably part of the layoffs earlier this year.

lobut ,

I mean it seems almost impossible that they either didn’t have a staging process to test N number of machines either virtual or otherwise or it passed through but it just seems insane that a problem of this magnitude went out to this many people.

Or prompt engineering.

Legendarylootz , in Malware As A Service

The real malware is the security software we made along the way.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot ,

We’ve known that since Norton and McAfee.

mnemonicmonkeys ,

At least McAfee’s antics were entertaining

rambling_lunatic ,

The guy left his company long before the shenanigan cascade

expr ,

After working at a company that had Crowdstrike installed on all machines, it is most certainly malware.

Now threat actors know what EDR they are running and can craft malware to sneak past it. yay(!)

marcos ,

Smart threat actors use the EDR for distribution. Seems to be working very well for whoever owned Solar Winds.

With misinformation about and how shit Google search is lately, it’s definitely a skill worth learning.

I used to google onions, because it was the style at the time

sukhmel ,

I used to be able to Google like you

…but then I got enshittification in the knee

mrbaby ,

And it’ll happen to you!

Pistcow ,

For reals. I never bookmarked anything as I’d just regoogle what I was looking for but as of six months ago I can’t find shit. It’s like it never existed and all I get is spam websites that’s are skinned to looks genuine. I’m honestly going back to Askjeeves.com…

OpenStars ,
@OpenStars@discuss.online avatar

Try DuckDuckGo - I believe its selling point is that it is not as bad as Bing.:-)

phdepressed ,

It’s Bing without tracking. And the things like quotation marks still work. However, baseline search using it has still gone to shit.

OpenStars ,
@OpenStars@discuss.online avatar

Did it used to be better? I rarely if ever used it before Google’s enshittification, but now I’m just happy to find streaming services whatever I need.

sukhmel ,

No, I’ve been using it for about 4 years or more, I think, and the search is stably kind of okay. Some time ago Google used to work when ddg failed, but…

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

It did, but Bing hiked their prices so it got shitty.

OpenStars ,
@OpenStars@discuss.online avatar

Oh, “it” meaning Bing then, not DDG. Although I thought Bing had always been free… shows what I “know”!:-P

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

DDG uses Bing on the backend, and they have to pay for each query, so Bing affects DDG

Oh damn, thanks for the explanation! 😀

If it is any consolation, a good chunk of those bookmarks would lead to deadlinks or domains bought by someone else.

QuazarOmega ,

wayback machine and bookmark, name a more iconic duo…

sukhmel ,

Until you stumble upon “we don’t have that page archived”, then the pain is real

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Yeah. It shows me first result article that copypasta from other place which is straight out wrong. Went to ddg and it start to show result that makes sense. It’s no wonder people look up reddit thread for info. It also doesn’t show too much oldschool forum, or at least it’s buried down 20page later. It’s unusable.

CTO of my company was up at 1am this morning in the chats. Pray for the IT department

lemmyvore ,

Who were they talking to.

I blame whoever had their chat open at 1am.

Lightfire228 ,

Most of the time, it’s me

Even medicated, it’s impossible for me to keep a normal sleep schedule

I think of it as compensation for waking up at noon every day

quicksand ,

Just because you’re awake doesn’t mean you need to be working
