We don’t blame the leopards for eating faces. We blame the morons who let an external entity have control over their devices. And a clowd one at that.

Nothing shady about that commentary after seeing how they screwed up. I couldn’t believe how amateur hour the cause of the crash was (the program not validating definition file contents, which spectacularly failed when fed a file consisting only of zeroes). They should rename themselves to ClownTrike.

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.

It’s okay, they sent out $10 gift cards for Uber Eats to apologize (that they immediately cancelled).

To their customers*. Not to the literally billions of people directly affected by their debacle.

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?

BarbecueCowboy ,

Not wrong, but they fucked up due to incompetence, not just some random preventable accident.

From the technical details I’ve seen, just having a basic testing process/environment should have easily prevented this. That should be the bare minimum.

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.
