    "We don't always test our code but when we do, its in Production" - Crowdstrike

    This is a legendary mistake. It’ll go down in history as one of the most incompetent mistakes in all of cybersecurity. They did not test a patch, they threw it right into production on a Friday. Now as gotta deal with this mess
  • I've been working in IT for over 20 years, the Cardinal rule is that you never make a change on a Friday. This is what happens when you hire too many consultants that are underpaid lazy and take no accountability. Don't believe anything this guy is saying, they didn't properly test this patch I am blown away that they did not have a development environment where this was thoroughly tested before being rolled out so haphazardly.
  • The interviewer basically asking "why is your software a world-wide single point of failure?" was one of the best questions I've heard a reporter ask in a while. Shame it stayed unanswered.
  • 30 years in IT, and I've had to deal with many software deployments by developers that were procedurally 'effed up. Rolling back is a b!tch. And that the fact that it's Windows makes it worse...

    If you know what the problem is why did you send it out.

    "We're deeply sorry" = They're making me say this crap.

    "how could one bug cause this much problems worldwide?" wrong question asked to a guy whose money comes from the excessive worldwide dependence on his company
  • @Runehorn
    so let me get this straight, this man has the power to grind this planet to a halt on a whim? i sit sometimes and giggle at how terrible we are as a society about having plan B's ready to go. he better get ready to get sued into oblivion

    CrowdStrike should not be surprised like this. I mean that literally. They need to slow down the initial rollout of updates and monitor the health status of the updated systems. If they had been monitoring that the initial systems to be updated and detected that they were not coming back online; they could have automatically halted the bad rollout with relatively few systems negatively affected.

    He said its not a cyber attack but then kept saying we have to be ahead of the bad guys.
  • DEEPLY SORRY???? Bro, companies are losing BILLIONS OF DOLLARS because of this!
  • Ceo is talking like nothing has happened just like i need to restart my laptop 😅
  • @CBgcfj
    Is he kidding??! This is major. MANY Businesses have had to close today. This is a disaster and a proper explanation and compensation will be required.
