-@TH3WH17ERABB17- -Q- ---TIME TO SHOW THE WORLD---

[guyfriday]

I don't think you guys fully grasp how big this is.
Around a billion computers are bricked worldwide, mostly corporate ones.

This isn't just an online service going down for a few hours. Every affected computer needs to be rebooted in fail mode and have a driver manually removed.

Most corporate computers given to employees don't let users do this themselves. Even if they could, imagine every single double-digit IQ wagie trying to handle a moderately complex task when many don't even know what a file is anymore.

I can't stress enough the scale of this happening.

Is 10 days of darkness next LOL

Crowdstrike is saying that it was an error on their side, I think they got hacked and are trying to cover their butt. Imagin how fast people would drop them if they knew they could be a weak link in their own security service. Though to be fair, this smells a little like when that Chinese company exposed themselves by having a similar issue. Could a Backdoor have been installed that was allowing the CCP to poke around in others systems? Bit weird in timing when it happened.
