CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.

Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.

Incredible work.

    That’s the impressive part of all this. Microsoft didn’t do it. CloudStrike did it.

    Microsoft left something in a state that allowed CloudStrike to fuck up enough to brick systems.

    It’s why we spend a lot of time reviewing security analysis of our own software - if there’s a way to fuck everything up, it better not because we enabled it to get fucked.
