Please proper nomanclature, clownstrike as in 🤡🤽♀️
“Our industry is built on trust,” Sentonas said
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.
Hey, they gave some people an Uber Eats coupon
A $10 UberEats voucher that most couldn’t use
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the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”

So, fraud on to of everything else…? If they do some light treason, it’s a hat trick!
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?
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.
They whine about this now, after they removed their “shady commentary” towards Microsoft from their website
I think that’s just called “living down an epic fuck up” but you know it’s their company and they can cry if they want to.
Maybe you shouldn’t have taken down half the world’s airlines.
People do tend to notice shit like that.
🤡💥
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
Horrible how? I’ve always thought they were pretty solid in the arena.
Their ftrace hooks caused all disk usage to be serialized, making your multi-core processor single-core when doing anything I/O bound
We saw between 500% - 800% increases in build times with their software installed
Well, that’s spectacular. What do you guys use now?
We’re still using them on machines where performance doesn’t matter
On build machines, they’re on a special VLAN and don’t have endpoint protection, but they only download from a protected mirror
Making millions, failing, causing global damage, then crying when people comment is quite nice and not at all hypocritical.
Youre a verb now, guys. That’s what happens when you fuck up that badly. Deal with it <3
ah yes, strike the crowd, that’ll help your reputation
Sorry but some fields have no margin for error, just take the L and shut up.
Nah, this one has a margin of error. It’s just that “take down a large percentage of all computers in the world simultaneously” is quite a bit outside of that margin for a security software.
Looks like the difference between the two is that they removed the section calling Microsoft’s security culture inadequate.
I wonder what motivated the change.
Reminds me of this hahaha (~23 seconds in).
And their customers are unhappy with the catastrophic service failure. Cry me a river.
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).
imagine fucking uo so bad that uber dosen’t allow you to use their gift cards
No, clowdstrike cancelled the cards after using them, if i understand correctly.
To their customers*. Not to the literally billions of people directly affected by their debacle.
To their partners*. Which I believe are companies that help out with support or something.
