CrowdStrike Controversy: From IT Disaster to Black Hat Swag Fest
CrowdStrike faced the music at Black Hat, offering T-shirts and action figures while addressing the chaos from their software update glitch. Despite the global IT outage, cybersecurity pros still lined up, proving that free swag and a good apology can work wonders.
Hot Take:
So, CrowdStrike’s big oopsie caused chaos, but hey, free T-shirts and action figures! Because nothing says “sorry for crashing your systems” like some swag and an Uber Eats gift card that doesn’t work.
Key Points:
- CrowdStrike’s recent software update crashed 8.5 million computers worldwide.
- The outage disrupted flights, hospitals, and U.S. government agencies.
- The company offered $10 Uber Eats gift cards as an apology, which backfired spectacularly.
- Despite the fiasco, CrowdStrike’s booth at Black Hat was bustling with attendees.
- Opinions on CrowdStrike remain divided among cybersecurity professionals.
