Crowdstrike didn’t just fuck up, they killed people. I personally had to postpone a blood test, but mine wasn’t critical and I’m alive to complain. Not everyone is.

And their customers are unhappy with the catastrophic service failure. Cry me a river.

They whine about this now, after they removed their “shady commentary” towards Microsoft from their website

I am not in the knows about IT security at all, but isn’t fucking up part of any security company? You can make shitty comments all you want but who says your company isn’t the next one to fuck up?

Cry me a half billion dollar river, maybe we can use that money to fix all the damamges it did.

Worry about the future of your stupid failure of a company, not your stupid feelings. Think of the feelings you've hurt over your stupid incompetence.

In similar news, Enron says that people should stop being ambulance chasers by calling them out for corruption, fraud, and illegal activities.

ClownStrike had a massive, glaring issue with their main functionality that is THEIR COMPANY’S ONLY REASON FOR EXISTING that has been correctly attributed to criminally inept architecture decisions, no redundancy, no checks, no safety measures, and no accountability.

If I made the executive decision to design a system without any safety measures that could potentially push unchecked, malicious code to 90% of the computers that the business world runs on, I would be sued into dust. Honestly, if there were any justice in the world, the people at CrowdStrike that designed such a shite system should do actual prison time for their ineptitude.

Companies all over the world shutdown because of their incompetence. They do not deserve to be in the security business.

Did they try offering a $10 gift card to the other companies? “hah psyche!”

Bosht ,

Yeah, it was an international fuck up. You’re going to get heat, and it’s 100 percent deserved. Go cry in a corner and fuck off into oblivion.

They deserve to go bankrupt after that level of damage. I won’t be surprised if a class action comes against them for gross negligence within the next few years. They’re cooked and they know it.

I don’t see the other companies fucking up so badly though.

You don’t? Shit I see it all the time.

damn i haven’t used Windows in over a decade. are y’all ok?

aniki ,

Windows users are never OK.

Wrench ,

Rofl, like Unix OSes never have problems. Even developers, who are among the most tech savvy users, tend to drag their feet on installing updates unless forced.

As a sysad, I’ll sign onto this.

You see CrowdStrike level of bad all the time? Where? What? Who?

Equifax

Gork ,

That one recently with the 2.3 billion record data breach is pretty bad, and we collectively had no way to prevent it since it was through a private company.

I wonder if they’ll end up doing a rename / rebrand if “ClownStrike” continues to haunt them (as it should).

If they do, I’m sure the new name will be some focus tested aberration they pay way too much for.

sunzu2 ,

Yes 🤡
