People 'impacted' won't 'see a cent' from CrowdStrike

The Australian's Associate Editor Eric Johnston says the people “impacted” by the global IT outage won’t “see a cent”.

Many industries are still feeling the impacts from the global tech outage on Friday as a result of the failures of cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.

“Their [CrowdStrike’s] ability to pay will actually be limited compared to the scale and the damage,” Mr Johnston told Sky News Australia.

“I think CrowdStrike will look after their big customers … but as far as the funds trickling down to the people in the street that were really impacted, I don’t think we’ll see a cent.”

How ironic. An antivirus/antimalware application has done more damage then any virus or malware.

The more our software is put in the cloud and subscription based, the worse this will be. Go back to physical hardware in offices and airports etc.. with of course an independent backup. And physical software not reliant on checks on a server to see if it has a valid subscription.
