CrowdStrike faces widespread lawsuits from a faulty software update that brought down Windows machines across the world in July.
As it should. They didn’t properly test the update, didn’t stagger its release, and pushed it out on a weekend. They deserve to get sued.
I’d say let this be a lesson to the industry, but I’m sure software vendors will just keep doing the same thing.
Honestly the amount of sheer negligence, incompetence and lack of oversight is staggering the potential amount of damage this caused on top of the fact that this was his second offense should make this a proper felony that he faces jail time for and the corporation needs to be dissolved, and I don’t think I’m exaggerating but this speaks a lot to the monopolistic nature of mega corporations that are to big to fail… because sometimes they fail.

What about Microsoft who signed a driver that can run unsigned code?
Hey companies that are all pissed, you agreed to the outage when you signed the TOS and user agreements. Get used to it.
Negligence can invalidate an agreement and expose a company to lawsuits.
Many companies negotiate agreements, specifically to avoid having no recourse for this type of situation. Companies have individual agreements with crowdstrike that aren’t the boilerplate one they start out with.
My point was more about karma is a bitch, stop screwing over customers.
Wouldn’t you rather they recover their losses from Crowdstrike than raise prices on consumers?
I assume both will happen.
Prices inevitably go up due to inflation. I’m talking about a price increase in addition to that because of this incident.
