CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.
Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.
Incredible work.
Come on, it was right in their name. CrowdStrike. They were threatening us all this time.
We formed a crowd, then BAM, they striked.
We should have seen this coming!!!
I wish my Windows work machine wouldn’t boot. Everything worked fine for us. :-(
As a career QA, i just do not understand how this got through? Do they not use their own software? Do they not have a UAT program?
Heads will roll for this
They make software for both of them also though, IMO they’re at fault for sure but so should be Microsoft for making a trash operating system.
Not saying Windows isn’t trash, but considering what CrowdStrike’s software is, they could have bricked Mac or Linux just as hard. The CrowdStrike agent has pretty broad access to modify and block execution of system files. Nuke a few of the wrong files, and any OS is going to grind to a halt.
cloudstrikecrowdstrike should be sued into hellBetter rebrand to Clownstrife I guess.
