• They Probly OUTSOURCE The JOB of Making The New Updates To CHINA or CUBA.

• Aspen security forum activities not affected
  Simulations reviews Testimonies
  crowd strike emergency preparedness training

• How ironic would it be if the Crowdstrike developers asked Azure AI to update the code?

• All the companies and governments in the world should file a mass class action suit against Microsoft and Crowdstrike for tens of billions of dollars in losses and the inconvenienced they caused billions of people around the world. At the very least theya re acco8untable and should be fined 1.5 trillion dollars by the EU, US and all governments and companies in the world.

• There is no shortage of unqualified IT professionals

• Sounds like Crowd CHIT is CLUELESS

• “Experts”

• Sales in Apple products skyrocketed today

• That’s called a virus sir

• How can anyone say already CrowdStrike was not manipulated from outside?

• -I think it was intentional – CrowdStrike wanted to show the world its impact; the update wasn't tested at their level before distributing it to its customers, then the system owners also failed to test the update at their level.
  -copy cats (nation states) would want to replicate or exploit the vulnerability or vulnerabilities
  -of all these years, Microsoft hasn't been able to fix the Windows 95 blue screen of death .:) Vs. Linux

• Who believe this

• You say you need to put hands on each computer to fix it, but, apparently, no one had to put hands on the computers to install it everywhere. That is the crux of the problem. The IT managers responsible for these systems should not be allowing automatic updates to any module which has the potential to harm the system.

• Gorgeous bike, if I could afford another, this would be my choice!

• You would think that the update would have been tested first, before it was deployed.

• Maybe not run EVERYTHING on one OS? Probably not a good idea.

• He explained that very well, so that the average person could understand.

• I wonder what this event covered up.

• Planned "outage"check stocks and shares. Strange. Check it out yourself. Someone's made a lot of money.

• My first thought – what incrimination data was "lost" ??- Kilarys server? Hunters laptop? Pentagun budgets? LOL 😉

• Such an obvious error is essentially intentional. It is beyond gross negligence. Basic QA would have prevented the problem.

• so we're switching to MACs?

• Who wrote the bad code? Show them!

• I am a DevOps Engineer and Cisco CCNP Security certified,
  A channel file is a configuration file used by security software as a service, aka SAS, to manage, implement and update its instructions and protection mechanisms for specific servers.
  It's basically a file that tells each computer on a server what to do and not do, when certain things happen on a network. It's also instructions to be implemented against
  it's users when someone does something they are not supposed to do. This channel file also has a "call home" notification for when someone breaches security,
  it will notify the company responsible for its network security SAS, so they can remotely take security actions against its intruder and protect the network and servers.

• You call this guy an expert? 😂😂😂 He's talking like a reporter.

• Yeah sure, human error. Crowdstrike's Falcon uses AI engines. Maybe if humans were monitoring the systems instead of being replaced by AI, they could have manually fixed a lot of those machines by now. But instead, you have EDR's being monitored by AI engines that can be paralyzed by a pointer de-reference to NULL.

• People DIED because of CrowdStrike's gross negligence and CrowdStrike just says "🤷‍♂sorry fam," absolutely disgusting

• IT expert everyone, go go go😁

• End times?.. lol
