There is something strange about the response to CrowdStrike. I've had people defend them and blame the companies for having auto-update.
It's not just an observations but along the lines of they are good and we need to continue doing business with them. It feels very odd and forced.
I mean, I'll agree on auto-updates being bad. But defending Crowdstrike isn't at all surprising for the usual suspects. After all, they were involved with helping the DNC and investigating the evils of Orange Man so they must be Good Guys.
The usual suspects proving they're nothing more than bots. Since when pushing an update that break systems to the point manual intervention on every affected machine is needed was ever defensible, even if you have a severe case of TDS.
Oh yeah btw I am very suspicious of software that gets deployed this widely that quickly puts this company into the S&P 500. With their stuff running live on so many computers. Someone said it was a dress rehearsal for a cyber attack. but they didn't say who would be making that attack.
