How? Crowdstrike and Trapeze are used by the majority of companies.

You better go check your bank account and see if you're affected. And I hope that you're not flying anywhere too. You might be stuck.

Imagine all the Gen Z panicking having to take cash payments


Zoomer: that will be $7.68
Customer: *hand's $10 bill*
Zoomer: WHAT THE fukk IS THAT

whole team work machines are macs and all our infra tooling is linux based, so not affected... we also run our own pos system, so we can still process payments.. but that's just my side.. some of these slack channels, dear god


RIP CRWD


understanding what's at stake here, how the fukk you rollout a sec update without having it thoroughly tested.. how did this even make it to fukking prod?

tech consolidation + bean counting = ever increasing blast radius while simultaneously reducing failure points

what could possible go wrong..

I bet Patches were tested and signed off by multiple people

this was either rushed through to meet a requirement or simply not tested correctly.
