"... according to an analysis of the operation by #cybersecurity firm #Crowdstrike."
Doesn't this name ring a bell? Ahh, this one:

How did they manage to stay in business? Oh, maybe they were rewarded for THE largest #reduction of #CO2 #emissions ever by a digital tool (due to the thousands of canceled flights 
)

"Organisatorische Veränderungen": Microsoft entlässt Tausende Mitarbeiter
Trotz Milliardengewinn und optimistischer Aussichten entlässt der US-Konzern Microsoft drei Prozent seines weltweiten Personals. Tausende verlieren ihre Jobs.
If you ever wanted to look at CrowdStrike's LKMs:

#Delta Air Lines class action cleared for takeoff over #CrowdStrike chaos

Terrible company about to inflict more worldwide outages

I’m sure the money saved by not sending this video player to thousands of people would have paid for a couple of FTEs. But, no. #crowdstrike sent this thing that plays ONE stupid video to a bunch of people, and now pretty much every single one of them is in a landfill somewhere. Suck my dick, Kurtz.
Professional solidarity should mean that everyone in #cybersecurity with a budget should send their dollars as far away from #crowdstrike as possible. Alas. We’re debating forming a co-op over at the Crankysec discord. Come check it out, and fuck those greedy bitches.
So, what happened with that whole crowdstrike debacle? Did companies like Delta get a huge payout or discount?
ICYMI: on the latest #TechstrongTV I join the Gang to go deep on #Google #acquisition of #CNAP (#cloud #cybersecurity) with #Wiz, esp. how it hits #AWS, #Azure, #Cisco, #Splunk, #Crowdstrike, #PANW, ++. Just don't call it #DevSecOps!
Plus, #AI is failing, even for religion!

Nach den weltweiten Computerstörungen, die im Sommer 2024 durch ein fehlerhaftes Update einer Cybersicherheitslösung verursacht wurden, haben wir als BSI gemeinsam mit #Crowdstrike und #Microsoft den Vorfall aufgearbeitet.

Fiddling around with jamfnow and crowdstrike. Is there any way to install falcon automatically? Maybe via profiles? I tried to find one, but the crowdstrike docs seem to be incomplete.
Could anyone push me in the right direction?
Marketing gone mad.
No way I'm dealing with them again.
Not for a down under big purple anyway.
#TheCrux spot on as always 
"Remember when #CrowdStrike caused global outages with its hamfisted software update last year? CrowdStrike’s stock price has more than recovered already showing that the outages basically didn't matter.
Infosec is a self-licking icecream where the tech industry gets to charge people money to fix the problems that it also causes."
During our AV090 cmte mtg at #TRBAM, Kelly Reynolds, Airport Director of Terminal/Landside Operations at ATL, explained how the airport responded to last year's CrowdStrike global outage. Kelly's presentation is available on our committee website: https://buff.ly/4hcfMTy.
