This global internet outage is insane! All airlines grounded and i was stock the airport and even banks, media, and offices from the U.S. to Australia. How can CrowdStrike have such a monopoly that could help restore such a massive amount of tech?

[ProudCapitalist-koff]

Isn’t this what companies pay millions and millions of dollars to Crowdstrike to keep from happening?

27 cars stranded at a local charging station for 5 hours. NO THANKS

[tassie]

A perfect example why the push to go to a total cashless society is so dangerous.
Technology is not flawless.

[PIPEBITE]

What a prophetic name for a widespread disaster- Crowdstrike.

[kenpappas]

30 year cyber security expert here. When are you people going to wake up and realize Crowdstrike is CRAP!

[pablogarcia]

No company should have the power to shutdown the nation's economy like that

[chinaman]

I mean the company is called crowdstrike. They did what they mean.

[truthmarshal]

This is a perfect example of why you need healthy competition in markets and not a monopoly in any industry.

[RH-cvrg]

Some are questioning whether our country is vulnerable?
Really? "some" are just questioning this now?
It was pretty obvious to anyone born before the internet age.

[wingit]

Hey YouTube. Stifling people's opinions is fascism.

Crowdstrike: "We dont need hackers! WE'LL DO IT OURSELVES!!!

[topmenofculture]

Crowdstrike should have tested the update to multiple computers first before rolling it out.

[netstar]

As a former IT Professional, I am not surprised that this occurred and it will happen again. Corporate management thinks IT security requires hitting the "Easy Button" and everything just works. Corporate management outsourced IT staff, eliminated test environments, and prefers to push updates out in it's entirety. This would have been avoided if they rolled out the update to a limited amount of systems to see the results in a real-time environment. IT Professionals know to turn off updates to prevent this from effecting your systems.

[doppavee]

Anyone who thinks this was just a "faulty" update is a FOOL! This is a test run for what's to come.

[nlwefqe]

This is why WE cannot Allow ONE SYSTEM to run all.

[bc]

Crowd strike should be held responsible financially. Unreal!

[bobmorgan]

Apology NOT ACCEPTED. Resign your position immediately and fire your entire programming staff for incompetence.

[antasosam]

Crowdstrike should be sued for damages.
