MODERATORS
Wouldn't any internal testing have cought this issue at CrowdStrike?
A smoke test, aka turn it on and "see if it catches fire," would have caught this.
And a controlled rollout would've limited the damage.
Yes. Why would anyone trust Crowdstike after this? They’ve ignored foundational deployment steps.
