They deserve to go bankrupt after that level of damage. I won’t be surprised if a class action comes against them for gross negligence within the next few years. They’re cooked and they know it.
Please proper nomanclature, clownstrike as in 🤡🤽♀️
Yeah, it was an international fuck up. You’re going to get heat, and it’s 100 percent deserved. Go cry in a corner and fuck off into oblivion.
It was called “Y2K if it happened”.
Crowdstrike is a dead company now.
I wonder if they’ll end up doing a rename / rebrand if “ClownStrike” continues to haunt them (as it should).
If they do, I’m sure the new name will be some focus tested aberration they pay way too much for.
Yes 🤡
Boo hoo, go fuck yourself.
Cry me a half billion dollar river, maybe we can use that money to fix all the damamges it did.
No, its good. They sent out $10 gift cards.
Crowdstrike didn’t just fuck up, they killed people. I personally had to postpone a blood test, but mine wasn’t critical and I’m alive to complain. Not everyone is.
It’s okay, they sent out $10 gift cards for Uber Eats to apologize (that they immediately cancelled).
imagine fucking uo so bad that uber dosen’t allow you to use their gift cards
No, clowdstrike cancelled the cards after using them, if i understand correctly.
To their customers*. Not to the literally billions of people directly affected by their debacle.
To their partners*. Which I believe are companies that help out with support or something.
And their customers are unhappy with the catastrophic service failure. Cry me a river.
ah yes, strike the crowd, that’ll help your reputation
Nothing shady about that commentary after seeing how they screwed up. I couldn’t believe how amateur hour the cause of the crash was (the program not validating definition file contents, which spectacularly failed when fed a file consisting only of zeroes). They should rename themselves to ClownTrike.
That wasn’t what was in the file, it was actual stuff. I saved a copy of it.
What happened was the file directed their craptastic snake oil software, which did absolutely no sanity checking first, to access memory it wasn’t actually given which predictably resulted in it crashing, and since its dick was way up the kernels butt at the time they both went down together.
I’ve been calling them ClownStrike because they’re clowns and their incompetence struck everyone else hard.
Yup a null pointer reference for a boot time driver. Which Microsoft never should’ve signed and should revoke. But ya know… Money
Ah, thanks for the clarification on the details. Either way it boggles my mind that they didn’t have checks in place.
“Our industry is built on trust,” Sentonas said
And instead of following that statement with an apology to all the companies and people they royally fucked in the ass with their shitty business practices, they instead whined about other people pointing out what a massive, colossal, and completely preventable fuckup this was.
Good going sealing my resolve to never use crowdstrike.
Hey, they gave some people an Uber Eats coupon
A $10 UberEats voucher that most couldn’t use
When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”

So, fraud on to of everything else…? If they do some light treason, it’s a hat trick!
Awww, let’s all feel bad for the rich, shitty company that has shitty quality control.
Hey, they’re trying their hardest. It’s hard because they had the joke build stored right next to the actual build so when they went to push it they clicked the wrong one.
We don’t blame the leopards for eating faces. We blame the morons who let an external entity have control over their devices. And a clowd one at that.
Somebody should call them a wambulance since their fee-fees got hurt.
I do believe the number is still nine-wah-wah
I just wish they made it a feature, or something, cause I really dislike working and stuff
