The irony of a cybersec company doing worse damage than the hackers/hacks it claims to protect against is so funny. You can combine all hacker groups and still they won't be able to wreak so much havoc.

Crowdstrike is best described as a way to slow down thousands of computers at once while also being able to send creepy messages to your employees.
well, which endpoint antivirus solution can't be described like this
@@Mooooov0815 They're the only ones I've run into recently with the creepy surveillance messaging. I cant think of anyone else wanting to help intimidate your employees in this way.
I recall when McAfee av update did the same to windows 7 few years ago
The kernel driver providing the antivirus in the update was literally all zeroes
As bad as this is I feel sorry for the engineers at croudstrike
Now Microsoft really knows their market
They did Strike the Crowd that's for sure
They took no reboots too seriously, it looks like
my man 💯👍
This is baffling. If every PC with the update goes into a boot loop, and the update got pushed, doesn't that imply that Crowdstrike didn't test the update on a single Windows PC before releasing it worldwide?
Anyway, how much do yall think it costs to disable half the world economy for a day?
12% of their enormous market cap apparently
@@jmanakajosh9354 That's no direct cost to anyone tho, especially not to the company
No reboots indeed lol
I feel really bad for the CEO that's rough as fuck and I can tell he hasn't relaxed for even 1 second as of this happening... Big Oof!
I know, you can see he's nervous as all hell
Bro was one email away from getting an aneurysm
This is why you pay CEOs the big bucks. Don't feel bad. Even if he gets fired he'll live on yacht somewhere and be swiping on his phone for your wife.
