I read today that crowdstrike already did this years ago and that the ceo apparently worked for mcaffee when they did the same. Maybe he should face some consequences for his actions.
He won't and chances are it wasn't just a single persons fault. Also targeting a individual instead of a company is fairly problematic and not really something that is done.
Do target individuals. CEOs should be responsible for neglect and rockstar culture.
I don't think that should be the default. A company shouldn't be able to just put the blame on a single person. Also if that were the case no one would want to be CEO.
Airports and some other stuff wouldnt have been an issue so i feel like it would be similar not much worse.
Crowdstrike is very entrenched in healthcare. Hospitals were routinely at capacity in 2020.
The outage this weekend probably killed some people due to disruptions in delivering care. It definitely would have then.
Why?
Everyowkring from home and access to on-site locations are limited, imagine the chaos of everyone at their office having to travel to IT to fix their PC, or IT traveling to locations with problems while trying to maintain isolation rules.
