    How could the whole world's computers be brought down by ONE companies software ? We are hugely vulnerable to the bad guys !!!

    Well this is just a gentle reminder of how fragile all of this really is! One messed up update - and you get a whirlwind of chaos! Buckle up people, this is not the last event!

    Crowdstrike says "My bad" and everyone looks the other way.

  • "It takes a while to get a fix , since our customersrs are still testing our software update". Either Crowdstrike did not do proper testing or they got hacked and their update got infected with rogue code that they failed to detect. Either way it's a terrible look for a cyber security firm selling endpoint protection.

    Stop saying there was a ‘Microsoft Outage’ Blame belongs exclusively to CrowdStrike.
