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.
That wasn’t what was in the file, it was actual stuff. I saved a copy of it.
What happened was the file directed their craptastic snake oil software, which did absolutely no sanity checking first, to access memory it wasn’t actually given which predictably resulted in it crashing, and since its dick was way up the kernels butt at the time they both went down together.
I’ve been calling them ClownStrike because they’re clowns and their incompetence struck everyone else hard.
And instead of following that statement with an apology to all the companies and people they royally fucked in the ass with their shitty business practices, they instead whined about other people pointing out what a massive, colossal, and completely preventable fuckup this was.
Good going sealing my resolve to never use crowdstrike.
When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”
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.
Hey, they’re trying their hardest. It’s hard because they had the joke build stored right next to the actual build so when they went to push it they clicked the wrong one.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I appreciated the RiskyBiz episode with the Sentinel one guys where they go over all the ways this could have been prevented if they did real testing
Crowdstrike absolutely deserves the shit they’re getting.
Oh god. Sentinel one is horrible. If they’re taking issue with your testing, you’ve really screwed the pooch
Somebody should call them a wambulance since their fee-fees got hurt.
I do believe the number is still nine-wah-wah
Cry me a half billion dollar river, maybe we can use that money to fix all the damages it did.
No, its good. They sent out $10 gift cards.

Yup a null pointer reference for a boot time driver. Which Microsoft never should’ve signed and should revoke. But ya know… Money
Ah, thanks for the clarification on the details. Either way it boggles my mind that they didn’t have checks in place.
CrowdStrike customers ‘unhappy’ with CrowdStrike

Hey, they gave some people an Uber Eats coupon
A $10 UberEats voucher that most couldn’t use

So, fraud on to of everything else…? If they do some light treason, it’s a hat trick!

Lol perfect
Stahp, you meany!
Awww, let’s all feel bad for the rich, shitty company that has shitty quality control.

Well companies serve humans. Be better
Making millions, failing, causing global damage, then crying when people comment is quite nice and not at all hypocritical.
I just wish they made it a feature, or something, cause I really dislike working and stuff
🤡💥
Maybe you shouldn’t have CRASHED THE FUCKING PLANET
Sorry but some fields have no margin for error, just take the L and shut up.
