CrowdStrike offers a $10 apology gift card to say sorry for outage
(techcrunch.com)
This is going to be a class action suit, and it’s going to put them out of business, which is good and proper in this context.
Kind of like what happened with McAfee! Just don't look up
Who was CTO of McAfee when an update bricked millions of computers by deleting svchost.exe
George Kurtz, the CEO and co-founder of Crowdstrike
It’s just so insane to me that c-suites are able to fail upwards after catastrophic failures like that.
Incidentally, the guy who’s in charge of Google’s search division these days is the guy who was in charge of Yahoo’s search division during the period of time when the went from neck and neck for top dog to “I guess only Japan uses us now” 🤭
Or they will be bailed out, like they always are.
Naaahhhh, this isn't JUST a greedy fuck who wandered in to muck and needs a haul out. This is a greedy fuck who got in the way of other greedy fucks stealing their bag.
The other greedy fucks are at least going to make sure to draw a little blood.
Well it’s $10 more than my company gave me for my time spent…
Oh - the company keeps it? Oh ok…😒
Your company didn’t pay you?
They pay me the same regardless of how much I work…
... so then you should work one minute a day?
All I hear is the South Park empty platitude “Sorry…” (😆)
What should I do?
Please god send Microsoft headquarters a $10 gift card🙏🏼🙏🏼
Per server?
Sorry we crashed the world go buy (almost) a burger.
Bitch.
Cue the Wendy’s conspiracies saying they did it to sell more burgers.
They are evil
If you went to Romania, you could buy 33 loaves of bread and still have 0.1 USD left(i would have gave the equivalent for a country where bread is cheaper if i knew the price of any)
You probably cant travel to Romania with 0.1 USD(or even with 10 USD) and i dont think the damage that caused was equivalent to 33 loaves of bread, but how could have they known that? Maybe they think everyone can teleport everywhere else for 0.1 USD and think bread is worth more than gold
Can the answer involve teleportation? Just this once? We've been good. We deserve a treat.
ClownStrike
Are there any good alternatives to Crowdstrike on the market? They have a monopoly which is why this impacted so many businesses.
Yes and no. Plenty of security options that actually work. Not necessarily ones that can make all the promises of clownstrike, but only some moronic cto would buy in to marketing hype ...
Yes, hiring more IT security specialists
IT Security Specialists are the people using this product.
Better than a poke in the eye I suppose
