Basically they fucked up and don’t like the criticism from other companies/ customers.

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.
They whine about this now, after they removed their “shady commentary” towards Microsoft from their website

Cry me a half billion dollar river, maybe we can use that money to fix all the damages it did.
“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the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”

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).
To their customers*. Not to the literally billions of people directly affected by their debacle.
Awww, let's all feel bad for the rich, shitty company that has shitty quality control.
I don't see the other companies fucking up so badly though.
That one recently with the 2.3 billion record data breach is pretty bad, and we collectively had no way to prevent it since it was through a private company.
They lambasted Microsoft in their marketing materials but when others do it to them it's no fair? lol

Compare the live page with the archive.
Looks like someone softened their language after the disaster, eh?
Looks like the difference between the two is that they removed the section calling Microsoft’s security culture inadequate.
I wonder what motivated the change.
Somebody should call them a wambulance since their fee-fees got hurt.
Sorry but some fields have no margin for error, just take the L and shut up.
make 8 million computers crash
other companies say you're trash
blame others
cry
Youre a verb now, guys. That’s what happens when you fuck up that badly. Deal with it <3
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.
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.
Maybe you shouldn't have taken down half the world's airlines.
People do tend to notice shit like that.
And their customers are unhappy with the catastrophic service failure. Cry me a river.
I appreciated the RiskyBiz episode with the Sentinel one guys where they go over all the ways this could have been prevented if they did real testing
Crowdstrike absolutely deserves the shit they're getting.
Companies all over the world shutdown because of their incompetence. They do not deserve to be in the security business.
I think that's just called "living down an epic fuck up" but you know it's their company and they can cry if they want to.
Making millions, failing, causing global damage, then crying when people comment is quite nice and not at all hypocritical.
Did they try offering a $10 gift card to the other companies? "hah psyche!"
Womp womp, that's what happens when you shut down the global economy clownstrike
