"We don't always test our code but when we do, its in Production" - Crowdstrike
-
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.
-
"In security, we're always trying to stay one step ahead of the adversaries. Today, the adversary was ourselves."
-
The way man started choking when asked how one bug could do this 🤣🤣
-
everyone wants to be CEO until something goes seriously wrong
-
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.
-
We crashed everyone's systems. Now they cannot be hacked. Your welcome..
-
"We fixed it on our end" is the CEO equivalent of "Well it worked on my laptop"
-
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
-
Man the way he choked on that question about how one little bug can grind the world to a hault was insane.
-
The problem is that even if CrowdStrike fixed the issue on their end, the endpoint machines will not receive the updates since those machines are not booting due to the driver issue. Unfortunately for the Companies, they will have to rely on their local IT personnel to fix each and every computers that were affected. So imagine for companies having thousands of machines affected, those have to be fixed manually by the IT guys...
-
No staging? No unit testing? Customers all around the world? No partnership with Microsoft to predict this situation? Whaaaaaaaaaa
-
And they wonder why people dont want forced updates.
-
"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
-
"Crowdstrike" Name checks out, mission accomplished.
-
The fact that all these critical systems run on Windows is the scary part
-
Crowdstrike brought doom day situation all over world 🌎😂
-
I'm a federal worker and I've not done a thing today. Absolutely crippled us.

I am a Cyber Security professional, this will go down in legend. You never roll out updates without Pre-Deployment testing, that is skydiving without testing your parachute. It is literally federal regulation in the government sector. And you also never roll out updates all at once, you do it in phases to avoid the planet coming to a halt like this. If there's anything positive, it's a reminder to all us Cyber Security people about the criticality of our profession and all IT folks in general.

You can't roll out a fix if the system has blue screened. A reboot won't fix it, you manually have to go into safe mode and delete a file before it can reboot. Not good guys, test your software better!
