    I can’t believe this isn’t satire. I hope these incompetent fuckers get sued into bankruptcy

          I bet the Onion had an article about Crowdstrike offering the world a pizza party and expired Bed Bath & Beyond coupons to say they’re sorry. Real life might be quicker than satire, it seems!

        Basically caused the biggest information infrastructure disruption in human history

        Do we have any solid data on that yet? I have my doubts that this caused more damage than WannaCry did a few years ago, especially since it’s reversible without the need of a backup

      There’s definitely some clause with the $10 gift card that says you can’t sue them if you actually take one lol.

        You joke but I read they may get out of this without issue due to a TOS entry about them not being responsible. They’ll still get dragged from shareholders and the government, but only a handful of large companies may be able to recoup some of those damages from the company itself.

        It’s like the Sackler’s and the opioid epidemic from a different industry!

      I’m still not sure. It’s hard to believe anyone at their company would OK this idea.

      Are they actually trying to deliberately kill their brand?
