    That wasn’t what was in the file, it was actual stuff. I saved a copy of it.

    What happened was the file directed their craptastic snake oil software, which did absolutely no sanity checking first, to access memory it wasn’t actually given which predictably resulted in it crashing, and since its dick was way up the kernels butt at the time they both went down together.

    I’ve been calling them ClownStrike because they’re clowns and their incompetence struck everyone else hard.

      Ah, thanks for the clarification on the details. Either way it boggles my mind that they didn’t have checks in place.
