Here are the details about what went wrong on Friday.
CrowdStrike lives up to its name
Hey Crowdstrike…
That’s not imposter syndrome you’re feeling right now.
*crowdstrike
It’s not imposter syndrome for me either. At least I didn’t bring down millions of systems all across the world
My bad
Sorry about all those blue screens
How many systems in the world’s military went down, you know in war machines of Russia and Israel and Ukraine?
Those computers don’t have auto update enabled
CrowdStrike’s channel file updates were pushed to computers regardless of any settings meant to prevent such automatic updates, Wardle noted.
I work at an enterprise software company and have some well known, security conscience customer. The above is only true for us humans, if you have the money, you can dictate whatever the fuck you want.
Normally I would agree however this doesn’t appear to be a Microsoft update but a CrowdStrike update. Given that everyone is worried about ransomware etc.
