This is why you do staged rollouts of updates... not the entire planet at once.

Can someone in non marketing terms explain what the fuck CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor is? I literally never heard of this company or product before.

farcaster OP ,

It’s basically corporate anti-virus software. Intended to detect and prevent malware.

This is going to turn out it was a hack in several months right?

Munkisquisher ,

Won’t take that long, security researchers are already decompiling the update to see if it was malicious or incompetence.

This is going to be Solarwinds all over again I can just smell it.

Balinares ,

You won’t find the incompetence in the software no matter what.

If you fail to assume that the software contains issues – if you fail to understand that your software is made by humans and humans make mistakes, not because they’re bad but because they’re human – and if you fail to implement mechanisms to feel gracefully with inevitable failures, THAT is the incompetence.

Failures are systemic.

Munkisquisher ,

Oh yes I make those failures myself, testing and staging and limited release schedules save my human failures from breaking the world

Hacks of this grade tend to be targeted, this is most likely incompetence.
