Also:

Crowd strike should be held responsible, and with that I don’t mean the developmers who were forced to do this shit, I mean the ceo, the CTO.

Jail them.

If you are so critical you better not fuck around and I can guarantee you, they were fucking around, pushing bad practices, etc. why do I say that? Because its lways like that

That comp ay should be dissolved, the C suite jailed.

Also, STOP USING WINDOWS FOR DESKTOP FOR FRACK SAKE. Switch to Linux already, I’m getting tired of having to read this shit.

If you’re using windows for servers then you deserve your place right next to those C suite guys and gals

Sure, throw people in jail who haven’t committed a crime, that’ll fix all kinds of systemic issues

How about holding an investigation first? You know, just to see where the wrongdoing happened and who actually perpetrated it. (It just might have been a bitter developer or something.)

Also, if people want to use windows, it’s their choice and their consequences. Government and corporate services might do well to consider Linux, but most people don’t even know what a command line is.

And for the 451855528th time: switch to Linux already. Why do people keep paying for this shit? Every time I get excuses. I switched to a Linux desktop 20 years ago. There were enout moments that I needed to tweak things to make it work but for the last decade, I haven’t had any issues.

If you’re dum enough to use windows for servers then you just deserve to burn, if you make that decision then its all on you.

This has nothing to do with Windows or Linux. Crowdstrike has in fact broken Linux installs in a fairly similar way before.

Are there really a billion systems in the world that run Crowdstrike? That seems implausible. Is it just hyperbole?

Coasting0942 ,

Yes

Probably includes a bunch of virtual machines.

Whoda thunk automatic updates to critical infrastructure was a good idea? Just hope healthcare life support was not affected.

Many compliance frameworks require security utilities to receive automatic updates. It’s pretty essential for effective endpoint protection considering how fast new threats spread.

The problem is not the automated update, it’s why it wasn’t caught in testing and how the update managed to break the entire OS.

Hospital stuff was affected. Most engineers are smart enough to not connect critical equipment to the Internet, though.

I’m not in the US, but my other medical peers who are mentioned that EPIC (the software most hospitals use to manage patient records) was not affected, but Dragon (the software by Nuance that we doctors use for dictation so we don’t have to type notes) was down. Someone I know complained that they had to “type notes like a medieval peasant.” But I’m glad that the critical infrastructure was up and running. At my former hospital, we used to always maintain physical records simultaneously for all our current inpatients that only the medical team responsible for those specific patients had access to just to be on the safe side.
