This is why you do staged rollouts of updates… not the entire planet at once.
And don’t have automatic updates enabled for critical infrastructure.
Can someone in non marketing terms explain what the fuck CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor is? I literally never heard of this company or product before.
It’s basically corporate anti-virus software. Intended to detect and prevent malware.
Apparently it’s the next iteration of AI based antivirus where it uses smart algorithms to detect system behaviours and makes assessments on whether they’re malicious or not

obviously, A.I consider microsoft as a malicious software. Sometimes, A.I is very accurate 😁
It checks for malicious falcons in your system’s level 4 aviary cache.
I work in QA on the night shift at a video game company. It was absolute chaos at work tonight lmao we only had a grand total of 6 working PCs between all of us
This is going to turn out it was a hack in several months right?
Won’t take that long, security researchers are already decompiling the update to see if it was malicious or incompetence.
This is going to be Solarwinds all over again I can just smell it.
You won’t find the incompetence in the software no matter what.
If you fail to assume that the software contains issues – if you fail to understand that your software is made by humans and humans make mistakes, not because they’re bad but because they’re human – and if you fail to implement mechanisms to feel gracefully with inevitable failures, THAT is the incompetence.
Failures are systemic.
Oh yes I make those failures myself, testing and staging and limited release schedules save my human failures from breaking the world
No idea why this relatively banal truth is getting so many downvotes
Hacks of this grade tend to be targeted, this is most likely incompetence.
A lot of companies will get calls from the “provider” offering help with mitigation so that additional features can also be installed. This is a time to be extra weary.
FYI, I think you mean “wary,” but this is one of those happy accidents where the wrong word also works in its own way.
I’ll just quietly leave this here: https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/crowdstrike-google-cloud-expand-strategic-partnership/
Never attribute to maliciousness that which can be explained by incompetence.
That said, I’m sure the Crowdstrike CEO is currently on a phone call with three of their pet Congresscritters asking if they can get a $100M grant to harden their systems against Russia/China/NKorea/Antifa interference right now.
What a striking name… CrowdStrike heh. They definitely live up to it!
Ca-caw!
Company spyware. We have that on our devices. They used to have an “about” stored locally on the app, but removed it and a web connection is required to view the docs. Basically says it downloads/sees everything on your device and checks for threats. Thing is a few people have been fired for having things in their devices they shouldn’t. I didn’t ask what it was, nor did I hear how these things were “threats”, but nonetheless they were fired. Too many people treat company hardware like “free device, bro!” and put all sorts of personal stuff on the device. Most industries it’s probably not too big of a deal, but for mine if there’s an incident that happens when you were busy watching Netflix or something instead of doing your job you’re fucked. First thing they’ll do is check your device and crowdstrike to see what you were doing.
Looking forward to the Kevin Fang video in a few years.
Yikes. I feel sorry for all the help desk and support staff that has to deal with this chaotic mess all day.
So cool
Crowstrike Onstrike
