Well at least we know there are people worse off than us. Took a peek at the Crowdstrike layoff page. Folks are already packing up.

@1qbz+1tAr54fO, offshore developers decided to skip lower environment and test it in prod environment so that they can leave early and avoid the rush hour traffic.
@zhn+1tAr54fO, I am almost certain, a professional hacker disguised as an employee intentionally planted the bug. Now that cybercriminals know where to strike, they will come back with a bigger breach.
By the way, I watched the CrowdStrike CEO's interview right after the incident. This guy did not sound very smart.
Someone fess up. Why wasn’t this tested in lower level environments before being deployed?
Things are bad when "Hey, I found one company worse than Wells Fargo!" is something to celebrate.
@ylz+1tAr54fO Thing along the lines of virus definitions. It wasn’t an application upgrade.
I'm curious as to how they were able to implement an update that we ourselves did not test beforehand? Is this usually the case where we just blindly let software and hardware companies issues patches as they see fit? You would think someone would have caught this
There is a possibility that some of their offshore developers were spies and this event was intentional. They were experimenting with this to see what happens. This was a dry run, but next time, those cyber criminals will strike us at full force.
Did they outsource everything and get rid of QA too? What could possibly go wrong?
Guess who will still make a bazillion dollars and will have no accountability??? Just like here.
this is what happens when you automate all your qa functions. Chances are crowd strike as a company won't survive this
@umr+1tAr54fO you need more coffee and look again
Crowdstrike moved from California to Texas and also opened a big tech office in India. Sounds familiar?
There is no Crowdstrike layoff page.
