      Crowdstrike as in the compant responsible for a global outage for machines using it including airports, hotels, fuelstations, banks, broadcasting, and manufacturing?

      The company that accidentally made every impacted machine boot-loop because they accidentally added a whole bunch of empty lines of code to production?

        Linux is perfection. I’ve never ever had to emergency patch nix distros. Ever.

        It’s amazing what a free pass this place will give based on how much money your product makes.

          fun fact: a few months before the big crowdstirke incident, they did the same thing to their Linux customers. I can only assume it didn’t make headlines due to lower adoption rates and what I suspect was far easier remediation.

        Yes that one. Who are still regardless best in class for anti malware in businesses. I think what they did was dumb but businesses still trust them. They are one of the few AV vendors that back up their product with a hands on SOC.

      I’m not sure that it’s necessary, the issue here is that anyone can create an account and adopt an orphaned package.
