CrowdStrike faces onslaught of legal action from faulty software update | TechCrunch

CrowdStrike faces widespread lawsuits from a faulty software update that brought down Windows machines across the world in July.

I would honestly think freezing airports, hospitals and other services for days would cause a lot of legal trouble.

At least that’s what would happen if an experienced hacker did the same thing.

      I don’t feel one way or the other. Plenty of people instrumental to the company come from the natsec space though.

      That’s not in and of itself damning though. Infosec people are often cops or soldiers of one kind or another because that’s where the jobs are.

      I want to make the subtext text actually. When you speak with people on the internet in information security focused places you are most likely talking directly to cops and soldiers a good amount of the time and certainly in the presence of them.
