“CrowdStrike said it also plans to move to a staggered approach to releasing content updates so that not everyone receives the same update at once, and to give customers more fine-grained control over when the updates are installed.”
Hol up. So they like still get to exist? Microsoft and affected industries just gonna kinda move past this?
We’ll see how fucked they are from SLA breaches/etc., and then we’ll see how many companies jump ship to an alternative. We won’t have the real fallout from this event for months or years.
Newsflash, Solarwinds still exists too. Not sure I could name a company that screwed up so big and actually paid the price.
Yeah, what was I thinking. United airlines was bankrupt and literally beating people up on their planes and still got taxpayer payouts and is around paying investors divends still today.
Two days ago my company sent out an all hands email that we’re going company wide with Crowdstrike.
$5.4 Bn so far, not including lost worker productivity or damage to brand reputations, so that’s a very conservative estimate. And Cybersecurity insurance will supposedly only cover up to 20% of that (but good luck getting even that much). What a clusterf***
Oh, finally, I have been waiting for so long.
This crowdstrike stuff seems an expensive subscription
I saw a lot of photos of crashed ad screens.
Why the hell are corps paying this much money for windows+cloudstrike for a glorified digital picture frame?? Wouldn’t be 100x cheaper to do it with some embedded stuff instead of having a full desktop computer running a full desktop os???
Yeah, an RPi or similar with a screen would be more than plenty for this, and the Pi Zero is really small. Connect that to a central Linux server with a hot backup or two (through local DNS) and you’ll have a hard time crashing it.
And the stockades?
Any word on the stockades?
For the rest of history this sort of thing will mention Crowdstrike, or it might even be called a “crowdstrike.”
You can’t buy that kind of marketing
Ok. Can we get a solar storm next? I want linux servers out this time too.
Best I can do is an xz vuln where half the Linux servers go down for maintenance.
Do we actually know? We might know that Crowdstrike was the cause but we don’t actually know what went wrong and how it happened. It is an unfree proprietary closed source software, we just have to take their word for it, which for all purposes is PR in line with the fact that it is coming from a profit-driven organisation.
this is exactly the question that needs answering… the PIR is bullshit
